Clutch Recommendation

The clutch is in and I will take this opportunity to go on and on... The joker that did the conversion on this thing clearly was not exactly what I would consider a good craftsman. I ended up basically re-fabricating the Z-bar and fork link. The South Bend StageIII, although billed as a "streetable" clutch has about double the pedal pressure of the junk one it replaced. So when it was in and connected, the linkage just basically went tits up. There was so much slop in there it is amazing to me it ever worked at all. I had to sleeve up the Z-bar ends, insert a large shim, and beef up and adjust the angle on the fork link. It's right now.

OBTW, I almost forgot to mention. I think it is supposed to be a two-person job getting the trans back in without a trans jack. I managed to get 'er done but whoa, what a job! I was sweatin' bullets under there in the 95 degree heat here yesterday...
