seriously wtf stage 5 should be able to handle a LOT more power than what you're making right now.

i know i am pretty sure it was the bearing i started squeeking and sounding like a midget hitting things with a hammer in the trannie the prongs got toasted the clutch looks fine its the pressure plate

Did you go easy on it for the first 500 miles or were beating the crap out of it from day 1?

coryjames

yeah man call em, 1000K on a clutch is crazy.. or maybe you are now like around 2000hp

coryjames

i called clutch masters still waiting to hear back from them

BFDBOX

did you take the time to break it in for a 1000 miles. Your not supposed to smash on it at all. You have to drive a lot of city miles and baby it.

Zsanz

either way...1000 miles?

still seems low

coryjames
