You can't fix 1975 clutch technology if they aren't willing to learn.

They would rather keep breaking gear boxes and spending money over and over and over than buy one good clutch.

I've broken more than a dozen 3rd gears. Have a buddy who used an 833 behind his Chevy. Broke four 3rd gears. He bought a Ram at the same time I bought a McLeod.

Neither one of us ever broke another one.


Using your logic. You could throw a couple thousand horsepower through one and it would be okay if using one of your recommended clutches. Also I don't use a 1975 style clutch.I use modern $1,200 clutches.....
