if i get a vehicle with a "push clutch to start" feature, i take and connect the 2 wires coming from the clutch switch.. then no clutch push is necessary to start it. plus, every time you push the clutch in on something, then start it up cold, there is no oil in the thrust bearing on initial start up.. dry bearings with alot of load against them do not make for a long life piece..

I really like my set-up which a few guys on here have as well.  The 16v PP/8v disc/8v FW.  And it revs a little nicer cause the 8v flywheel is lighter then the stock diesel one.  It also has a nice feel, doesn't grab to hard but you can still have a good "launch" if you wanted too.

Starting to regret not getting the excess material removed from my flywheel... and i haven't even driven it yet.
