most of those guys are probably breaking transmissions because they are way beyond what the trans can hold. i ran an fx725 twin for almost a year in my car. my only trans failures were at the track or doing highway pulls on drag radials. its a tough clutch to get used to sometimes, but after a certain level you dont have much of a choice

I had a southbend 6 puck, it was meh. Now I have a Comp Twin Disc in my car. Get a twin disc its not that bad.

Both me and Ken Gushi's personal FR-S are having clutch fork related problems, due to the Twin Plates that we run. I would 100% agree that a twin plate is over kill on a FR-S transmission, but never having to worry about upgrading to a newer clutch ever I think is well worth it. This clutch grabs so quick and feels so good shifting, but takes some getting use to in the beginning. I plan on beefing up my motor and transmission gears in the coming years so it's cool not having to worry about upgrading the clutch for each stage progression.

And it has been fine ever since. It does make some funny noises and engagement is "harsh" as most people would complain about. But most people that drive our cars are sissy's and complain about everything.

Were u using the HD or the XT pressure plate at that time of slipping? Also do u know what torque numbers u were running? Somewhere around 250wtq?
