Message Had my clutch apart this past week diagnosing wierd noises coming from it, found other faulty parts and measured the clutch wear while I was at it.

.286" +/- .001"

It is my understanding they ship with .290" NEW and need a rebuild at .270" considering it has worn .004" this mean it has 80% material left

Damn impressive considering it has 25~30 7Krpm launches on slicks, about 30 on street tires and 12K regular hard driven street miles. So this means if I continue my driving habits like they are this clutch can last 60K miles.

Chances it will last more since im out of the drag scene.... for know.

Just thought I would share.





BEST 1/4mile 11.92 @ 117mph. PUMP gas, true 11 sec. street car :)
