Clutch Masters Drivetrain Upgrade Draining The Rearend Fluid
We don't plan to show you the whole gearset installation, but here's where you get started. Well-used gear oil has to be one of the nastiest odors. Try to avoid getting it on clothing or storing oil-saturated parts near your living quarters as it will stink them up quite easily.

Clutch Masters Drivetrain Upgrade Launching
Clutch Masters recommends a minimum break-in period of 400-500 miles during which you should take it easy and avoid compression braking. After that time is up, you can let it rip at will. Despite not having much glue on the track, the FX 300 and BFG drag radials planted the power to the ground.
