Well my transmission gave out with 32k miles. Busted rear main bearing retainer. The cast piece broke in half. I have put an ACT hdss clutch/preasure plate combo with the ACT 9.8lb chromoly flywheel and counter weight. I also have a heavy duty throwout bearing.
It engages very smooth. It is way smoother then the stock set-up. I had 3rd gear grind when I went from 2nd to 3rd at 2nd redline in acceleration, but after the clutch is fully broken in it went away. I do not notice a huge difference in normal driving, but I can tell that it is faster on heel toe downshifts and also in engine response when I step on the gas.
It is an improvement.
