I guess it's like insurance, hope you never need it. On a percentage basis it's pretty rare for a clutch to "explode" and come through the bell housing/trans tunnel. Of course on a Cobra it's likely your trans tunnel is "glass" so that won't offer ANY protection over and above your bell housing.

I lost the one in an old Mercury years ago. The trans tunnel stopped the parts, after the flywheel absorbed most of the energy.

So what kind of cars would this be MOST likely to happen to? High perfomance cars of course! High revs are the most likely "trigger", along with aggressive clutch engagement on a down shift, up-shift, or the "killer",,,,standing start engagement at high rpm launch!
