Customer Review :
Not to bad
Put together well, does not have that cheap feel to it like some others and the chrome shine is real nice. Can be a little difficult to install if you have fairly large hands.

Hard to find, but still PITA to install
Can't find these anymore and the wife wanted another for her new car. As with most pedal covers, the bolt on straps in the back just tend to slide off the pedal and are easy to over tighten. My solution(s) are either put some industrial strength adhesive on the pedal first and the bolt the straps on or drill through both pedal and cover and bolt all the way through.
Still, these look good if it is what you want and no one locally carries them so this was a good deal.

Love it!!
I love the foot pedal. The only problem I've had is that it doesn't fit the pedal of my Winstar. That was a bit of a disappointment.

Kickin' It Old School
Remember when cars came with gas and brake pedals that you could fit your feet onto? The days when you didn't have to "guess" if you were pressing on the gas or just mashing the carpet? Today it seems that automobile manufacturers are trying to make the pedals smaller and smaller. If you have large feet, or wear boots, it is almost impossible to get comfortable driving without putting your foot in an awkward position.
This pedal pad is kickin' it old school and gives your ride a touch of uniqueness, but it also helps make the pedal to where you can be comfortable resting your foot on it. In the summer I go barefoot or wear flip flops a lot, and this makes it easy to rest my foot comfortable on the pedal. In the winter, when I wear boots, I don't have to guess if I have my foot on the gas or not!
Style, old school and comfort -- three good reasons to add this to your ride today!

KSB03 OEM style clutch
I replaced my stock clutch after ~130k miles since the throwout bearing was audibly squeaking. Didn't want to be stranded. So far (about 5k on it now) it feels and acts exactly like the stock clutch. I do get some shudder on cold mornings, before the car is warmed up, but I got that with the stock clutch too. Rumor is that this is what you get if you go to the dealer, you just pay more for it. My experience is that if it's different from what you get from the dealer, it's not very different.

Works like it should,a nd super cheap!
I've had this new clutch in my '02 WRX wagon for about a week now. It was time to replace the stock clutch after 112K miles, and this one fits the bill. It seems to grab very well, and only a little chatter if you try to engage at too low an RPM, like less than 2K. No slip with the stock engine setup. Haven't done any hard launching. As for clutch feel, it seems lighter after the initial push, which is about the same as it used to be. If your clutch is worn, the engagement point is closer to you, but when you have a new one installed, the engagement point is much closer to the floor.
Watch out. I killed the engine, expecting it to start engaging much later than it does now.
This is the MFR that makes the OEM parts. I expect another 100K miles out of it.
UPDATE 12-2009:
The clutch has plenty of grab even on hard takeoffs. Chatter is pretty strong below 2K RPM. That may be an installation problem though, not the fault of the clutch.
For the money, in my beater 114K miles WRX, this was money well spent.

Editorial Review :
B&M accessories help you complete your project with parts designed and selected by the experts at B&M. This kit allows you to add a remote filter to increase the transmission oil filtration efficiency 2 to 5 times over the stock numbers. With contamination as the cause of many transmission failures, this extra filtration can be good insurance. The kit includes a permanent remote filter adapter that can be easily mounted on a fenderwell or firewall, mounting and line hardware, and a spin-on filter (Fram PH8A or equivalent).

This can't be it already...
I ordered this on Wednesday 12/16. The order said it would be 9-12 days, I should expect it on the 22nd. Much to my surprise it was on my doorstep 24 hours later!! The kit comes exactly as desribed, the filter is actually a Purolator with a B&M sticker. There is no hose included, but the clamps are. There are also no instructions included, but if you are ordering this, they must expect you have the know how to install it. Its been on for under 50 miles, and I dont know if its plecebo effect or what, but it seems to not slip as much between 1-2 and not at all between 2-3 or 3-4 now :) I must say so far - I couldent be happier

Questions & Answers
Question : What Type Of Drive Train Do you use For Drifting?
Do you use FWD or RWD, Because FWD makes sense for drifting since your powering over the E-Brake, But then i hear drifters use RWD, Which Drive Train is better? also AWD?
Answer:
I have FWD because I have a modified V8, and drifting requires a LOT of acceleration to overpower the e brake, like you said, because the braking kicks in pretty quick. It is a lot more common for drivers in RWD to lose control of the wheel, and the engine weight prevents traction loss a little better than FWD, so I think it is harder to drift. AWD has the best traction, so I would think that it would be the hardest drivetrain to drift on. All of this really depends on the driver and the car, though.

Question : What drive train is best for driving in snow and ice?
What drive train is best in a car to drive in deep snow or on ice? AWD or 4X4?
Answer:
Wow rear wheel drive for snow and ice-that person knows nothing about driving at all. That must be why they use front wheel drive cars for ice racing then.AWD and 4x4 are essentially the same thing but still differ. Because all 4 tires in a full time AWD system are connected by a system of differentials, they are potentially very susceptible to torque reduction when a wheel loses traction. Without sophisticated traction control systems, they would become immobilized when any one of the four tires lost traction. A traditional part time 4WD system does not connect the front and rear via a differential, and therefore does not suffer any front/rear torque reduction - if a front tire loses traction, it does not reduce torque delivered to the rear tires, even without traction control systems.Part time 4WD systems are therefore mechanically simpler, cheaper, and tougher than AWD systems, and inherently better at making use of available traction. Part time 4WD transfer cases are also usually equipped with a gear reduction setting that multiplies torque for greater power at lower speeds, a vital feature for vehicles that will see much off road use. The drawback is that because it lacks a center differential, a part time 4WD system can only be used in low traction situations where the wheels have the ability to slip as needed.For these reasons, full time AWD is appropriate for improving on road handling and is seen on cars and car based crossover SUVs, while traditional part time 4WD systems without center differentials, or with locking center differentials, are better for heavy duty use, such as off roading or deep snow, and are commonly seen on trucks and truck based SUVs.So in a car you'll want AWD vs. a truck where you want 4x4.

Question : What does front wheel drive train mean, on a car?
I was lookin at a car and it said: "Drivetrain: Front Wheel Drive"What exactly does it mean?Thanx!Is there a difference in the way the car moves, I know it's when the front wheels move the car but, does it make a difference on it's steering?
Answer:
It means that the front wheels are the wheels that deliver the power. If you had the car on a lift and hit the gas, the two front tires would rotate and the rear wheels would be stationary.If it were a rear wheel drive car and you had it on a lift, you would see both the rear wheels turn when you hit the gas and the front tires would be stationary.

Question : How do you train pony to drive?
I owned a little paint pony that was already trained to drive when I bought her. She passed away about 3 years ago at the age of 30. I just bought a welsh section b pony who is 2 years old. She handles great, stands for the farrier like an angel, and loads without any hesitation! She is just amazing! I want to train her to drive but I have no idea where to begin.
Answer:
You just start with lots of long_reining. As soon as you can, go out with her on roads etc. with the long reins. Once she has really got the hang of that, get her used to the harness. Once she is OK with that get at least one other person to help you to put her on the cart. She may freak out a bit atfirst so you need someone holding her head. If she is quite calm, you drive her while someone else walks with her using a lead rein. Hope that helps!

Question : My employer is sending me on a training course. Why does he want me to learn to drive a train?
I have only been with the company for a few weeks since leaving school and now they want me to learn to drive a train. It is very exciting and I am sure I will be a good train driver even though I haven’t got a car driving licence yet.
Answer:
they may think you would be more suitable as a driver than a ticket collector,that's how rail companies work.dont think you would need a driving licence to drive a train on the railway lines,might be wrong on that though.you may need to get a provisional licence

Question : Who can help me with motor and drive train vibration?
I am having a problem with motor and drive train vibration on the 3 cub cadet garden tractors I have. A 1200 standard shift and a hydrostatic 1250 and 1450. As RPMs are increased vibration increases to the point where everything shakes. HELP!
Answer:
I have a couple of old int'l cadets and have only expierenced a bad vibration from the mower deck when the blades where not alligned or broken - meaning put the blades (with eng off) 90 degrees from each otherOther possibillities crack or lose flywheelor bent crank shaftGood luck Let us know what you have found and leave more details - in comments

Question : What should be the weakest link in my drive train?
I have blown out my left front drive shaft on my Hummer H2 two times. It breaks off the differential casing. As opposed to continually needing to replace my left front axle, can I intentially make something else in the drive train weaker. I don't know what a U-joint is, but could this be made the weakest link to break, and would it be cheaper to replace?
Answer:
HAHAHA!! sorry but WTF did you expect you bought a H2...the most worthless POS ever built. if you want to stop breaking stuff either put smaller tires on it or start beefing up the part that keeps breaking.

Question : Floating Drive-train: What's the difference? Which is the best? ?
Looking at the suspension design of the GT i-Drive, Mongoose Free-drive, Szazbo "sweet spot", and lately the Haro Virtual Link we could figure out that they are of the same classification -- that of Independent or Floating Drive-train. Simply, how do they differ from each other in theory and in the trail?
Answer:
Interesting question with no simple answer.The term for bikes that have a solid rear triangle separated from the front triangle is Unified Rear Triangle (URT). Both the Zorro (son of Szazbo) and the Haro are of this variety. The Zorro is a bit more elegant in that it has only one pivot, see 1st link. Changing it's characteristics is as simple as standing or sitting. It is very efficient and works great for cross country riding. The Haro is a neat twist on this general design allowing a little more activity in general, see 2nd link with video. The Haro might have a slight advantage uphill, but I can't say for certain as I haven't ridden the Haro. The Haro strikes me as a design that takes the best of the URT and Girvin designs and fuses the best aspects. That's a potent combination.The GT and Mongoose are "virtual" URT designs. They try and achieve the same goals with clever manipulation of leverage. The problems arise from all those linkages. They are a guaranteed failure point. They will remain more active but will also interact to an extent with the drivetrain. They can't help it.But without actually comparing them side by side on the terrain you like most you can't make a final judgment.I know that the sweet spot design is a fantastic, efficient cross country ride. The only real criticism I have of it is that you need to sit to get full suspension activity. Going down a hill I grab the saddle with the far ends of my thighs and lean over the rear wheel. This keeps the suspension active while going down hill. I have a Schwinn, and this was it's Achilles heel. The Szazbo didn't really have this issue to the same extent, but I couldn't afford one. BTW, I still have mine 9-10 years later:)I'd try a Haro at a dealer and try it up and down a slope if you can. It will tell you a lot about the bike very quickly. I also have great respect for Neil Saiki. He's even designed an electric motocross bike, see 3rd link. It has compared very favorably with the 250cc gas versions which have had 40 years of refinement. That's a heck of an achievement.There's an old engineering adage: It's harder to design something simple than it is to design something complex. Simple is good.

Question : how do i draw a drive train diagram for my solar powered boat?
I am currently building a solar powered boat and i need to know how to draw the drive train. is there a computer app? also what kind of propellor should i use. i have a 24 volt engine. also what ratio should i put the gears at. and what gage should i use and what angle to i put the drive shat at. Please help thx.
Answer:
Your best source for wiring diagram would be from the guy selling you the $22000 worth of solar panels. There will need to be a controller, and a stack of some form of battery with a solid rheostat for throttle controll. You will probably get away with a direct drive (velvet drive) 1/1 for your reverse. and your motor(that is what they call an electric engine) will probably run better if you find one with more volts. Even golf carts run higher voltages. There is a successful solar powered pontoon boat running round Europe you might find their web site and get a ton of information.
