I was sent a bell housing ,flywheel& bolts ,throwout bearing , manual clutch linkage pivot ball bracket for LS . It cost $1123.97. Seems like alot considering Pace sells similar kit for $759.00 minus the pivot ball bracket. I don't even have a itemized receipt to know what I payed for?

My problem started when I was sent the wrong bell housing and the pivot ball bracket didn't even work with my LQ9 block, no holes for it.

I contacted the place and they said send back the bellhousing and bracket and we should be able to waive the restocking fee 15%. I was already starting to get red flags at this point. So they charge me for another bell housing.

So in the end I get charged $57.60 for a restocking fee. I got credited for the second bell housing and the bracket.

At this point I'm in for about $1100 for bellhousing,flywheel, and clutch along with the throwout bearing.

I went with this company because they sounded very confident they could get what I needed to make my swap work.I made it very clear I what I had LQ9 and TKO. They picked all the parts and now it still does not function. They can't tell me why. I'm unable to get the 5-7 degrees I need for the clutch fork to be in proper position. My fork hit's the tunnel just as the throwout bearing starts to touch the clutch.

I'm very disappointed that a company can present like they know exactly what I need and end the end charge me restocking fees and $1100 worth of parts that I can't even use. I hope they make it right
If what your saying is 100% accurate, it not cool in my book. Hopefully you can get this resolved.
