i would get the carbon clutch, from my experience they work awesome and are easier on the drivetrain

organic is way easier than carbon… i’ve had organic, carbon, kevlar, and sintered iron clutches before…
honestly at the point im at, if it’s a stick, nothing is easy in any respect on the drivetrain anymore… ☹

Auto it. You’ll love the consistency and it will make for a super fun cruiser, IMO.

you heard wrong. the car had more than enough time to do it’s thing, not to mention most of the runs weren’t even full passes :rx3:
things break when you’re putting a lot of power through them, nothing new here

the issue i have is whether it’s the clutch or something else, the t56 is causing me to break a lot of stuff. it’s just such a huge shock on the whole drivetrain. whether it’s the clutch, trans, rearend, or heaven forbid the engine, im destroying things at $1500+ a pop and its starting to become a big burden.

its not the t56. its the mickey thompsons that are harsh on drievtrains. Every since i got rid of mine and went to a bias ply hoosier i have yet to break anything including axles. However clutch riding and slippage is what did your clutch in being a full face. Are you runin solid bushings or eurothane bushings in your rear suspension and rear? id recommend going back the the oem’s if so for softer abuse to your drive line.

For as awesome as your car is, being broken all the time would piss me off so much.
I am pissed off that the a/c stopped working in the vette… lol.
