To start off, i have a centerforce stage 3 clutch and the stock tranny.
I have never had to replace the tranny, yet. When i shif from any gear, especially from 1st to 2nd, the car seems to jerk or you hear a small
clunk by the drive shaft when i let the clutch out. I dont know if im letting it out too fast or giving it too much gas. I have an AWD. I was wondering if it was because of the clutch or just my driving. Will the tranny be ok to daily drive it w/ a stage 3 clutch?
 
I would inspect the driveshaft I think it may have a U joint in the front and in the back. Also has two carrier bearings that seem to wear out. I'm still waiting for a response to my post about the carrier bearings on the driveshaft because I have no idea how much play they are supposed to have in them. Usually when you are stopped and you let out on the clutch you will here a "clink" of metal just before the vehicle starts to move if the U joints are worn.
