Default McCleod rxt life span vs monster 3 left span which will be greater

So which one will last longer. Yes I know depends on how it's driven. It's a strip/street car. I launch at about 5800 rpm on a two step if that makes a difference. My monster 3 has lasted 4 years and about 20k-25k miles. If a McCleod rxt will last longer than the monster then that's cool. So what are everyone's thoughts, opinions, and facts?

You're gonna have a hard time finding a solid answer. In most cases, people that look to clutch like the RXT generally don't daily drive their car so its going to be hard to find someone who puts that many miles on an RXT.

That's why I thought to start a thread. So I hope people with different experiences won't be shy and will chime in at some point

mcleod told me 40-50k miles on the phone when i asked them.. weather its true or not who knows... of course the way you drive will determine a lot. there is nothing unstreetable about a rxt so saying people who have them dont put on a lot of miles isnt really true. i put 6k miles on mine is less then a year, but swapped to auto because big power and 6 speed just dont jive. it drives like a stock clutch. i would say you will easily get the same out of it as the monster. probably more.

I know this isn't a great gauge on longevity via mileage for you, but I've put about 1000 street miles and around twenty mid 10 sec passes (launching at 6-7k rpm on slicks) on my RXT and when I pulled the trans this spring I had less than half a thousandth wear on both disks (so virtually no wear). I expect it to last me a looooong time. Best clutch I've ever had!
