Default Confucious say, "he who drops the clutch in an AWD vehicle make phone call to AAMCO"

honestly they are fine, they will hold and they will last.

I did 13 HPDE's in mine and never had an issue.

if you are good with zse schtick as they say, you'll be fine.

just remember it's not the kinda car to rev to 4k and "drop it like it's hawt"

Default If your tranny seal goes and sprays gear oil on the clutch say solong!

I've done 5 HPDE and two trips to the 1/4mi, On city streets I like to keep the milltek growling, but have never dropped the clutch, as dojo said they will hold.

Default Durable enough to handle tire chirping takeoffs for 100k miles, but...

If you rub it, the clutch genie will waft out of the bellhousing and grant you three different wishes. All of them will be for a cheaper clutch replacement. None of them will come true! :P
