6sp is right. They are a bit more grabby than the stocker. And when they say that you might have to change your driving style a touch for it, their not lying. I've only had mine in for 3 weeks now but I really like it. Haven't towed heavy with it yet, but a really nice setup.

i have found that mine is a little grabby in reverse. it makes backing into a trailer kind of a pain in the *** but if you go real slow its not bad. For daily driving and towing its great, when its engaged that thing will never slip. if your good with a cluch you wont have any problems

For daily driving I would recommend their street dual disc kit.

i just remembered something that the guys a south bend told me make sure you get a street double disk. if you get the other one it makes a lot of bad noise- metal on metal banging. theres nothing with that clutch but the street version has some pieces in there that make it a lot quieter.
