I remember reading that someone makes a clutch tube repair kit but cant for the life of me remember who. The clutch tube is pulled in on this car and I want to do it now before I get things going too far. Where can I get one? Anybody know?

Because I will never have to replace my clutch cable again for one, plus for the money, I think it will be a good investment. I know a few guys running them and they have no complaints.

Yes, 901 box with mods

You won't have to replace the clutch cable , but you have other parts that will need replacing (slave cylinder, etc.) Not sure how it is a good investment (it'll take a long time to recover the costs in savings from not having to replace clutch cables).

I'm sure people are running them without complaint, but people have run the easy, simple clutch cable without complaints, too.

Not trying to talk you out of it, just trying to understand the reason for grafting on a more complex system when the KISS system works so well on the stock transmission.

Dont ever come over and start talking to my other half about things like this, it's the cool factor I think and women just do not understand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
