Looking for Local Help...
 
It's ok, it's ok... no physical labor required, just advice. Anyway, I have been in the process of "rebuilding" the 8. For those that know me understand that it has been through some rough times.

I have been through 4 clutches. One would think that I would be the expert on clutches by now, but am still looking for a good (decent yet affordable) aftermarket clutch. I have had 3 stock clutches (which were horrible) and an Exedy clutch that I have had for 2 years. It just makes noise and has since it was new.

and you replaced the pilot bearing and throwout bearing along with the clutches right?

I got an ACT Street Clutch and Fidanza flywheel and sometimes if I launch too quick I get a chirp from the clutch. Functions perfectly though....replaced throwout bearing for sure, don't remember if I changed the pilot bearing

Well, I was told that they were. They have all been done at dealerships. One in Little Rock Arkansas, 2 in Richardson (Town North) and 1 in Hurst (Hiley).

Ok, new clutch, flywheel, counter weight and slave cylinder purchased.

Does anyone have any shops they would recommend besides the dealerships?
