So I found out I'm not moving overseas until August, so I don't need to worry about selling the LUV at the moment; will reconsider that later.

Therefore, the Impulse 5-speed and 3.90 rear end are getting installed. I need to know which way I need to go with the clutch kit, though... I'm assuming it would just be the standard G180 clutch kit, correct? Is there another model I can use one from (complete kit if possible) that's a little more heavy duty so I have a stiffer pedal? My clutch is really soft, not to my liking.

The 4x4 is a slightly bigger clutch and i think it is the same as the 2.3 and maybe the 2.6 but not sure.To use them you will also need the 4x4 flywheel.

Don't want to get too financially invested in the swap with exchanging flywheels, as well. Anyone have experience with the 1.9L kits? Possibly the one for the higher hp Impulse G200?

I have one from the first time I was installing, thanks though!

Do you need to swap flywheels for the G200 clutch kit as well or can I stick with my stock one?
