T56 anything can break, you name it the part will break.

I got a Tick Faceplated rem polished, cryo treated t56 ready to go in my other Car. Along with a Sof Loc Mcloud clutch.

Should be fun with 750hp NA 2900lb car, and maybe a little 250shot on top of that.

The wrong clutch can make all the difference with a stick.

dont give up yet. what clutch you running?

Drive it on the street yet??? He needs to get it done before I change my mind and just get it faceplated. LOL. Everyone I have talked to says they absolutely love the faceplating. And they don't seem to have any issues on the street with it???
