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.....


That's about half what a good clutch costs. Do what you want. I never said you can dump 2k HP through an 833. You did. That was beyond the design limits of the gear box. Any other box designed with the same limits as an 833 will take the same power levels.


It's all good madscientist.We will just have to agree to disagree👍 beer
