I want to get rid of the stock stuff cause it wasnt looking right. it looked to be pulling the arm down more than it was pushing it in. I think some previous owner cut som of the linkage rod off. I have compaired mine to another guys here in town, but even his looks a little funky. I am just always looking to improve, and thought it would be cool to have a self adjusting clutch linkage. I have the T5 hooked up already to the stock bell housing, no adaptor needed.
