I recently had a 1995 ESI that went through clutches like nothing 7 to be precise and evertime I went and got it fixed they told me it would be fine. for a while. I went and got an ACT clutch the 3rd time. it lasted the longest 5 months I think. I went and bought a stage 3 clutch and the compony blew my tranny. I know you people are thinking that this kid doesnt know how to shift but I was very easy on them. I got fed up with puting out the mony to buy a new one all the time and sold it. Now I want a turbo and dont want to do the same thing. Any Ideas??? Tried Limited slip :cry:
 
An LSD wouldnt have helped you in your situation anyway. It only adds more stress because of the increased grabbing power of the wheels/tires; Same reason awd cars are tougher on clutches and trannys.

As stated above, vfaqs, and dsm.org, you gotta make sure whoever is working on your car is stepping that fly correctly.

I doubt you will have this problem again if/when you buy a 4g63 DSM. If it does happen again, then I guess all of us here can say to ourselves, ". . . this kid doesnt know how to shift . . ." :) ;)
