I've gone through several transmissions in my various cars and bought transmissions from a few different places. My FLT trans is the best trans I've ever had. Soft on light throttle hard on hard throttle. Great customer service, I won't go anywhere else. You could go anywhere and they will talk the talk saying they can do whatever you need, you fork over the $ and you might get something good, or you might get a big headache and have to go somewhere else and pay more to do it again.

A spec clutch's Suck B. Last time i checked the only thing that kill's clutch's and trans like your doing is a miss timed shifting. I have my tex 0Z700 clutch in my car with well over 20k for miles and Over 200 track pass's of letting the clutch do a fast slip off the line At 7000 Rpm's. And my trans Is is almost stock only has upgraded blockers and 2.3 fork
