Just a bit of run down on a product i recently brought and installed.
It's part number GMK-7744SMFHD
Kit comes with, clutch, pressure plate (in lovely pink flavour), SMF, Slave cylinder and spacers for the slave.
You get some instructions for fitting but essentially their useless.
I can give you pointers on install if you want, just ask. It's a very doable DIY job.
Had the kit on for a couple of weeks so all of this is pretty early.
But suffice to say i'm happy with it. Clutch pedal feel is a little firmer but not by much. Bit point is lower making the shift point faster. It doesn't take much to get used to but you will notice it initially.
The clutch bite is much harsher, mostly due to the SMF. I've heard it makes the car a little harder to drive and i suppose technically that's true but i've not found it more difficult. I daily my car on the lovely monash peak hour and haven't had a sore leg nor a frustrating stall yet.
If you're really on it you'll chirp from first to second and third. Needless to say it makes the car much more lively. I'd liken it to doing diff gears, minus the increased fuel milage. If you do it yourself it'll also work out a cheaper mod.
Negative things, it's a little noisier. Under load at low revs it's not a happy chappy. It'll do it but just groans a little. Also just general driving at really low revs it doesn't like. Although most people will say that's not good for your engine anyway so it shouldn't be an issue.
If you're just a cruiser, stick with the stock setup. I know exedy do a DMF solution too so you don't necessary have to pay Holden's crazy prices for parts.
But for the driver looking for a little more lively car and some added fun. This is a must have mod.
On a side note lets not forget it also becomes a great supporting mod when/if you start increasing power and more importantly, torque.
Any questions about the item in question or install procedure pass them my way.
Cheers
Forgot to mention this part applies to all VZ V6 6-speed manuals and VE SV6/Omega Manuals. Double check SIDI (2008?) and above models for the VE as i've heard the kit applies but exedy doesn't specifically specify that.
