Re: Which is harder on parts? Transbrake or ceramic clutch

My neighbor is big into the 2.3 big turbo stuff. He has a Pro Stock Probe that runs 8.5@160mph with about 30lbs of boost. He broke lots of trannys over the years (toploaders/T5's/G-Force conversions) and now runs one of the expensive upscale G-Force 5 speeds like the big boys use. The only problem he has with it now is the rear bearing likes to go wear out often (on 2 different trannys.) This seems like a design issue or G-Forces has a poor source for these bearings.

Anyways, he uses and recommends the McLeod Sintered Disc setup. He never has a problem with it.
