I agree. I have learned clutching is every thing, I just hear that the 2:44 ratio is harder on parts, My self I've never damaged the 4 speed in my car but from what I have learned on the forum I will spend the money on an adjustable clutch and have the bell windowed for access.
I was told the same thing. So, I prepped a 2.44 box and broke it. I'm as hard headed as an army mule, so I broke 8-9 boxes before I got sick of it and bought a clutch.
Damn I'm dumb. And a slow learner.
