Stock vs hp Steet clutch discs

I'll add an AMEN to the stock rebuild with a shift kit. I 100% totally agree with @junkyardhero about buying from A&A Transmission instead of CRT. Rick Allison is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Another good place to buy transmission parts is Andrews Racing Transmissions

He is a member here and is always willing to share his knowledge. Good luck with your project.
