Hah, you'll barely notice the difference. Stock/HD astina clutches are disgustingly light. Even my 2100lbs carbon one is still very easy to use.

I have a HD clutch. Same info as Dan gave you. I didn't notice any difference between the stock and HD one. Except the gear changes were better than before.

Hey guys just wanted to make sure but if I get a new clutch for my F-series gearbox will I still be able to use the clutch and gearbox after a BPT turbo conversion? (though it seems unrecommended from what i've read)

Also are there any short shifters out there that dont reduce the height of the stick? I wanna use the original gearknob and boot

Is there any way to tell what gearbox I have just by looking at it or do I need to pull it apart? Just wanna make sure i've got a F-series and not swapped by the previous owner cuz the gearbox has texta markings on it which leads me to believe its not original. Appreciate the help guys. Thanks

Well, there should be a white sticker under the metal coolant hose that runs over the top of the gearbox up near the engine block.

See white patch with red writing in pic below. It'll either say G25MR or F25MR



If the sticker is gone, then it'll be stamped next to/inside a little raised circle on the 'radiator' side, kinda near the clutch slave cylinder.

Either way it's viewable from the engine bay if there's no stock airbox in the way
