Thanks a ton man, we'll be glad to get you into a Monster!

Indeed, thanks a ton!

Not at all... this was a very rare, one time issue that occured.

LOL, 17 passes?!

Well, if that's not proof then I don't know what is...

My new clutch is still wrapped in the packaging havent even cut the tape to open them. The clutch hasnt even flinched imagine that. Power shifting has been a little tough lately though, might have to call you bout that LOL j/k man.

On a side note, steve got me taken care of and got the new clutch out to me. I think he's gonna be reaming UPS a new hole though for leaving my clutch in front of the wrong apt. complex for one and two just leaving it sit on the floor in the hallway and not even having to sign for it.
Sarcasm is fun!

Keep me posted man, the UPS rep wasn't happy after the *** chewing I gave them... jackasses.

He realizes that we're not all experts with this stuff, and takes the time to talk to me making sure I completely understand everything we're doing.. I've built many many many hot rods and race cars, and I've commissioned many of the top mechanics and tuners to help me from all over America, literally. And after dealing with Derrick, I've definitely added him to my arsenal of builders for my next project...

Thanks Derrick "Morris Motorsports" and Steve and the guys from Monster.
Thank you for the post!

Derrick is a great guy!

Sounds good.

Made 4 or 5 passes on it at the track in march, clutch didn't even flinch, and then my rear decided it didn't like the clutch. So we'll see how it holds up on the new setup after my deployment is over.
Be safe out there!

Let me know how it holds up, if it's not a 12 bolt, S60, or 9 inch you'll be doing this again.

Shot in the dark here but have you ever had any of your customers use your clutches for drifting in 240sx swaps? Trying to find a new clutch for my car but everyone's info seems to be more geared towards drag racing (which I'm more accustomed to as well) but I need to hear some feed back on what people are using/experiencing in drift style driving.

Absolutely!

We've got four units in vehicles that drift on a regular basis. Give me a call and we'll go over some info!
