So went for a spirited drive last night, realised that much clutch spent even handle launch control without slipping anymore! At 45xxxk I'm not real happy but what can you do.

What clutches have you guys got? I'm thinking gtx sometime next year btw

Opt 5 is very nice to drive if you are going to pump a bit of power through it, however the Opt3+ is good for 400 with some sympathy

Yeh heard nothing but good about malwood. So no limiter dumps and she should be fine? I'll just get cheapo tyres and powerskid everywhere weeeeee.

Has anyone else had problems with the fg clutch being Upto sh*t? I don't really give it a hard time. The occaaional clutch dump but usually about 3500

Yeh I know, not great for it but I rekon I'm alot kinder to my clutch than alot of guys on here are! No point with a new clutch if it's getting put in for no reason, current one holds up if I baby it, but I didbt buy a T to drive like a granny ALL the time, just most of te time haha.

If you want to break other stuff you can put a clutch in that will take almost any abuse you can through at it - it will be crap to drive and you'll probably hate driving your car - trust me I've been there.

If you accept the way you treat the clutch may limit its lifetime then you should put the best one you can afford in there, I would say Opt3+...
