I went from extreme to extreme.. Heavy ls7 clutch to light twin disc. Not sure who else in the conversation has done the same and experienced the results. But the small light clutch shifts much quicker and easier than the big heavy one. If you understand the mechanics and physics of what's going on there it makes sense. Not difficult to learn either of you have an open mind.

Lol so basically what we gather is hamma continues to dance around questions with out answering them. Obviously a lighter clutch would make the car feel quicker. You're not only making the trans more efficient but reducing rotational weight which will help you be a bit quicker. Thanks for not answering my questions hamma. As far as doug, you did a faceplated trans and light weight clutch at the same time yet you say the light weight clutch will help the synchros. How would you know? Like you said you did light weight clutch and FACEPLATED TRANS at the same time... so basically you got rid of the synchros made it easier to grab the next gear and improved the efficiency of your t56 congrats. The FP took care of your synchros not the light weight clutch.

I'm judging your ability and willingness to learn. You seem much more content in ignorance. However I would be happy to step up through it if you're willing.

Why didn't you guys notify me in here? Lol. I'd venture to say I have busted more Transmissions than anyone arguing in here. Trust me it's not a good thing. Thousands upon thousands of dollars and has almost made me give up on cars multiple times. Yes a light weight clutch will absolutely make the trans live longer....it's easier on the Synchro's which also carries into the gears.....the lighter weight slamming into them at higher RPM the better. Faceplated helps tremendously. I really wish I could have afforded it when I did this swap but I just couldn't swing it. Down the road I am sure I will do it.....but in the mean time I hope this one lasts awhile.
