Well I just dropped 3000$ on zzps website! I ordered a zfr and stage 4 south bend clutch. Now I have read about many slave/tob nightmares. Have you guys been ok with the ced lnf tob? I want to do this once and never again! I ordered the oem flywheel, bolts clutch and I am getting ready to purchase the tob and clutch pipe. Also I need a clutch alignment tool I'm assuming the zzp one for 5.99$ on their website will work?? Was there ever an explanation for the massive failure of the throw out bearings? Also is there anything else I am missing for this clutch install I got somebody to help me with more experience. Also the redline mt90 is good for the lnf correct? I would just hate to have to rip this apart three times over a tob failure as someone else on this forum did! What about this clutch rod I'm hoping its not completely necessary.

The TOB is hit or miss. The most important thing is to get a new one and make sure you bleed it properly. Best to bleed it before you put it all back together. Replacing the clutch pipe is a good idea also, good job on that.

I'm sure the clutch comes with an alignment tool but if it doesn't, then get one. Email them to make sure its the one you'll need. Just use the factory Trans fluid. It works very well.

I can't open your how to... Figures! Do I need this adjustable rod? Is there any way to tell if the tob is bad when I receive it? I have read like 10 threads with defective tobs! do i need a vacuum bleeder? Also what's harder zfr install or clutch lol

Yes you need a vacuum bleeder. As a side note a spark plug socket can be used as an alignment tool if you dont have one....i did with mine and after 8-10k miles everything is fine. As for whats harder...my clutch job was a bitch. Ran into problem after problem. Now if i hadnt encountered all the issues it would have been a breeze. From what i hear the turbo install isnt difficult but again...what problems will arise that will make it so?

I'm officially on the market for a clutch! Let me know what you think

If you have less than 30K on your stock TOB, and it's still working fine, then I don't see any reason to replace it. The normal reasoning is because you already have it apart, why not put a new part in there? That reasoning doesn't work for the LNF/LSJ TOB's because 20% of the new units fail. I'd say stick with one you know works.

One guy that blew through 3 new TOB's had the wrong pressure plate sent to him by KY. Man, he was going insane until he found that.

41k on the car... I was thinking of doing that so I don't need to worry! Good advise! Ill post up a review when put to together! I don't think you would be jealous of my Amex bill COBE! It will be worth it though really excited!

Bumping this. Is everybody with the Southbend Stage 4 going with a new LNF TOB? Are you using a new OEM flywheel or the Fidanza? Getting the adjustable clutch rod?

I'd replace it with a new one. Just makes sense to replace it if you're gonna have everything out and open.

The TOB?

Replace the tob and clutch pipe and just run a new OEM flywheel. You can get one for like $80-$100.

Good stuff. Anything else you ordered like new flywheel bolts? I just want to have an idea of everything that's going to be needed.
