In terms of hills, I have a LWF here in San Francisco and I use the car as a daily driver. To my experience, once you get used to the LWF, hills aren't really an issue. And we got hills here...

I think it's complete --

That's odd...you replaced more stuff than I did! I re-used my clutch fork and shaft (although they looked fine). Although..did you replace either or both of the master and slave cylinders?

[QUOTE=mongrelcat;9328984]He has a '98, no issues with stalling... (put the extra $500 towards something else.)

I have the MWF, and I still find it challenging to work sometimes.

After speaking with Steve Weiner I bought the Andial MWF because he said that it is the ONLY way to assure that the car will not stall when coming to a stop light. If you "find it challenging" to operate a 993 with a MWF you need to learn how to drive a manual transmission. The LWF I have on my turbo is another story altogether. It is like an on off switch and does take some extra concentration to engage smoothly.

Please join as a member to sell stuff.
Also: that is a screaming deal. All one needs is the shorter flywheel bolts and it's a complete package.
GLWS!

Is there anyone in the Portland area with an LWF whose car you could just check out? What's nothing to one pair of ears is obnoxious to another. Maybe Steve can refer you to someone?

As far as noise, my take on the idle rattle is it's negligible compared to the low RPM acceleration sound..probably wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it, and with the radio at any volume I can't hear it. The low RPM accel noise is considerable though, that yellow-orange thing was in the sky today so I was driving around with the windows down, and was a little shocked at how loud it was outside the car. Granted it's a pretty tame exhaust system noise-wise, but the Dach X and motor sound mufflers were no match for it..

I have the short bolts if you want but its not recommended (stretch bolts). the bolts cost about 4.00 each 9 needed and while your there may as well order the shift fork bearings and bushings cost about 5.00 for the bearings each

mongrelcat

I replaced the fork/shaft as they had 130k miles... Yes, the master/slave and slave hose were replaced, and the kinematic lever was updated.

TravisB

Well, I got nothin' then. Maybe it's a Grand Prix White thing..

os993

I have a '95 with lwf. I've had it for ten years without any stalling or issues. I don't see the point of upgrading and going mwf.

levtron

jennetd, why did you remove it after only 1000 miles? I need to do my clutch and this looks like a good deal on what I was planning on anyway getting

G$993, If your not interested, I maybe...

G$ 993

Thanks for the continued feedback crew. I will talk to steve to see if he can hook me up with someone with the set up. If not, perhaps I need to make a trip north to one of your Seattle drives for a demonstration!

jennetd, PM sent.
