Default I should have listened...

Driving to work on monday something let go and let go hard on a 3-4 shift, pull it over, flatbed comes and picks it up. Now today I found out, my clutch is destroyed, the metal around the shaft was completely broken away from the rest of the clutch. Then I get the wonderful news that my 10 bolt is toast, the thing just SCREAMS. So now without any upgrades, I'm lookin at over 2k in repairs. I really should have listened to people when they said the stock clutch and rear were garbage. This happened on stock power and ventus 245 street tires. I just had to vent a little

car ever been wrecked? or did it just happen suddenly?

But to the original poster, you should upgrade to the LS7 clutch setup, it drives smooth as stock and it's stronger than ****!! got mine parts and labor for 800 bucks!
