The clutch pedal keeps getting sucked down at high speeds. Its the only problem I have always had with this car since it was new. Josh you do same day jobs? The only problem I have is actually getting to you to leave the car lol. No ride back lol

Actually I had the same problem. The camaro at the time was my daily and I was then commuting to Rutgers. I ended up driving down to JS Performance with my bike in my trunk, leaving the car there, and riding my bike over to the train station. I had to transfer a few times but I ultimately got back to Rutgers (where my lady friend gave me rides to and from school until my car was completed). I reversed the process to get back. That was when my rear end was acting up.
About a month later, my clutch went (good time to get the trans rebuilt right?). This time, closer to finals, Tim (NJSpeeder) gave me a ride from Hamilton train station, over the river to JS, and vice versa when the car was ready. This saved me a couple hours of my day as the train ride was only 20 minutes or so and the ride to JS was about 15 from there. It didn't take nearly as long as Josh claimed it would. If I recall correctly, my car was finished in less than a week.
This may sound burdensome, but when you find a good shop, you stick with him. I've had a few bad experiences with other shops and even now that I'm no longer at Rutgers, I still plan on having him fix my car when it goes wrong. Maybe a taxi cab or you know a friend down there? I've had a bad experience with an off-the-shelf clutch and am very very happy with my JS clutch. I usually offer anyone who asks about it to drive the car and see.
