I haven't yet.. its just sitting in the garage collecting dust... I am not sure what to do.. I don't think the OEM is worth the money and the aftermarket I am worried to have new noises or chatter.. my GT500 is totally stock and always will be.. one day Ill get a clutch.. but Ill need a lot of input..
you can google for the specs on your OEM clutch, and try to decide if you need aftermarket clutch. Did you keep the old parts? Any indication of heat damage?
ceramic clutches might be more annoying for street use. I haven't had one before, but in the descriptions, I have seen such words as chatter and "grabby".
Well.. there is not much you can do in terms of a rev limiter.. you can put a tracking device in it. They have those tiles now that are impossible to know they are in there.. you can install a DVR.. I think they have to be made aware its in there.. but they have to leave it recording.. its a white knuckle ride when it goes i though.. I don't understand why techs have to rag on peoples cars.. I never understood that.. Grown men cant control themselves and have to hammer on it..ceramic clutches might be more annoying for street use. I haven't had one before, but in the descriptions, I have seen such words as chatter and "grabby".
OEM (or aftermarket high torque organic) clutch should be fine if it is installed correctly. Just shift soft and let the engine do all the work. I wouldn't mind having 631 lb ft of torque
Just curious, what do you do with such a car if it needs to go to shop for any length of time? Any concerns of the shop hot rodding your car? Can you set an RPM Limiter for such occasions?
I just let the service manager know I took a picture of the odometer so they know not to even try it.
No V8's but there was a 5.9L straight 6 making ~350 hp, ~700 ft/lbs conservatively, most of those miles were on it. Drivetrain outlasted the vehicle, but that'd surprise nobody with the manufacturer's reputation.
