We have trailers coming through your area quite often and could haul it back here, we get lots of the KC people up for work at Woodhouse.

If you are going for parts the clutch is made by LUK, you can get them on ebay for peanuts Slave cylinders are cheap too. I have a stock LUK clutch fitted in my car and it works just fine. But of course there are many upgrade performance clutches available, just get your credit card ready!

One thing you must do is replace the UJ Straps (on the Driveshaft) and Bolts with new ones, YOU SHOULD NEVER REPLACE THE OLD ONES as they strech to shape on the UJ's

For piece of mind Straps and Bolts, the bolts come with a Loctite patch on them or if they don't you must use loctite.

I got replacement Cap screws (bolts) from JonB Partsrack the OEM Bolts are hex head but JonB supplied me with Cap head for an allen key :)

Do you Club guys in the Midwest area help each other out Wrenching on your Vipers? Here in the UK we wrench on members cars as there are no places we would trust to send our cars!
