When my car was stock I had zero issues with it. It was after the modding began that I begun to have problems. Starting with the excess heat from the headers heating up the steel braided line going to the slave cylinder. And then the clutch just not being up to the task anymore. I am awaiting a new Textralia so all will be well soon.

Mine is chattering horribly and doesn't disengage all the time.. of course I have 53,000 miles on my car so it's expected by now.

I have 90K on mine, but a new Mcleod is going in next week. I think the stock clutch is good for a long while on bolt-on only cars, unless you slip the clutch a lot. I think once you get past the mid-300's in torque the stock clutch is vulernable.

Mine worked great. Lots of track time, before the cam. It did stick to the floor a couple times at the track, but did come right back.

40 k on mine, no problems at all, haven't noticed any issues with the heat from the headers either (that may change when the track opens in April)
