My first thought is that you need to find your period key. I shouldn't have to struggle to figure out what you're after.

Second- billet aluminum connecting rod.

Third- a decent clutch oughta work out for you.

 

[onemrbigg14]

thanks. and im very sorry about that. and what type of clutch should i get the most expensive one, or will a cheap clutch work

 

[Doc Sprocket]

A cheapie might do it, but I would suggest something better, like a Noram. Not the most expensive, but not bottom-shelf, either.
