Theoretically, yes. Its really just a probability game that you're playing, as with anything. What are the odds that your throwout is predisposed for failure, or the design is -to a degree- already not ideal? What if the bearing already has some grit in it from the X amount of working hours it...

It leads to excessive wear on the throwout bearing. I've seen throwout bearings overheat and wear out within 50K miles with the clutch still being fine. Bad habit that can expose flaws in an item that otherwise wouldn't have an issue. Certainly not to say it will be a problem in every throwout...

Theres a dude who daily drives his 996 Porsche Turbo on the east coast and has racked up over 700,000 miles on it. Lots of that is in stop and go traffic. He's also tracked and autocrossed that Porsche fairly extensively. In the lifetime of that car, he has had to replace the clutch twice. Once...

Hahahah, imagine the shop trying to explain to their insurance that they need to cover the replacement of a Bentley dashboard with custom $3500 leather stitching. I know some shops refuse to work on certain cars because the insurance wouldn't cover any damages caused to them. At my shop, I know...

Might be the handle of a razor or something, trying to fit it into the crevice at a weird angle. Not cool.

I recall that the S550 GT350 had overheating issues on track too. Billed as a track car, yet it was overheating after just a few laps. Either way, there is only benefit to be had by upgrading the cooling system, especially if OP is tuning the car.

If its a Ford dealer, then thats not a surprise. Get a second opinion at an independent shop.

I'd get that checked out at an indi shop. Rear diff's really shouldn't whine. Could be lash, could be bearings, could be low on fluid. Check it regardless. There was this whole thing awhile back where people would receive their S650 and the fluids would all be low, either for transportation, or...

Shit happens, that sucks man. Hope the fella figures it out.

Dual injection really is the best of both worlds. Nice to see

Tremec’s definitely feel better - no questions about it, but I have zero issues with the MT82 after getting the MGW. A stickshift is a stickshift, and i’ll almost always prefer one over an auto, even a bad one.

In all fairness, MGW kits make the MT-82 shift way nicer. They don't address the throw-out issues of earlier variants, but it is what it is. Can't speak on reliability, but take that for what its worth

Hahahahahah. I dunno man, you sound pretty fussy to me.

Please quote the emotional response. All I said is that you’re doing the usual “defend at all costs” thing, then you called me a snowflake. Seems like you’re the emotional one, lmao. Not even been a week, btw.

no

Maybe its just the internet people then. I've only ever met down to earth fellas in corvettes, bar the dudes polishing their cars every weekend. Just spoke to a C3 fella this past sunday. He was just like "yeah, this shit is slow. But I love it"

I was just getting a rise out of you, dude. I have no horse in this race. If it was up to me, I'd have just swapped my S650 GTPP with a tremec. No hard feelings, I was bored.

This forum is one of the most aggressively defensive forums I have ever seen, tbh. If you dare compare, suggest, or insinuate any sort of problem regarding the S650, you get blasted so unbelievably hard, lmao. I remember a few months ago I compared the S650 to another car that was similar...

I'm going to need to see some citations that forged internals aren't better. Tremec is definitely better. Source: Every single person who has ever used one. Chassis tuning certainly exists.

Well, for one, you get a better engine for the price tag. And a better transmission and better chassis tuning
