I'm an old fat guy and crawling under this thing to pull tranny is a bitch!! any suggestions on this ? correction: BIG old fat guy!!

Great to hear your still enjoying your Monster! Unfortunately the only way to check for wear is to pull the unit out and measure the disc thickness.

you have to drive these clutches hard. low city driving tends to glaze them bit mine always loses its bite after a lot of city driving. but 1 drag pull at the strip and its like new again

The aggressive singles, I'd agree (Level 3 and up), the 1 and 2 doesn't require this at all. They are docile in comparison.

Not true with the stage 5 disk, with the stage 3 id agree with you.

Also with stage 5 there is NO chatter, no break in, no nothing. It's the ****.
