It's a lot of work to install one.  Is there a problem you are trying to solve?

I used one for four straight seasons on No Mercy with nothing more sophisticated than a 2700lb Kennedy pressure plate and a three-puck feramic disc. I found it perfect. My ultimate idea was to install a line-lock in the clutch line and wire that to a two-step, so that I could stage the car, hit the button, release the clutch pedal and launch solely by releasing the button – but I never got round to it. 10 years later, I think Peter Englezos may have tried this in his Fiat.
