So if that's the case, any recommendations on what clutch I should replace it with? Not sure where to start. Anything in particular that I should keep in mind since I'm running a T56? I know there are variations of this transmission. I used to run 6 puck ACT clutches on my previous single turbo RX-7s and they held up pretty damn good.
