Default Stock clutch limits.

My Mcleod clutch went out and I dont have the money for a new one right now. this is the only thing i have to drive. I still have the stock clutch (4,xxx mile) but I dont think it will surive. Currently im putting down 402rwhp & 387rwtq. I just wanting to know if I just drive the car like a grandma will it last for a little while till i get another clutch.

It'll last a while for normal daily driving, but sticky tires will definitely kill it.

I daily drove mine with 397rwhp with no problems. When I did burns outs and stuff it would heat up and I wouldn't be able to shift for an hour or so. Luckily I only did that once and learned my lesson

Im not big on burnouts, I just bought another set of tires. i dont really go to the track that much. And I Know I wont be going on a stock clutch. I was just wanting to know if I could get away with it. This is my first 6 speed car im used to running A4's and A3's. This car really isnt a racer, just a decent HP street car.
