Default thrashed another clutch

Well this is the second clutch (ceramic too) that i have gone through in the last 8 months. The first was a sprung hub. well it wasnt sprung for long mabey 2 months then destroyed the springs, and the second was a solid hub well i ended up sheering off all of the rivits that hold the spline section to the disc. I dont know how the hell i did it but managed to. To much hp mabey lol. well anyway im going to get it re pucked and then fix the spline to the disc with welds it wont ever break again.

how much boost and HP are your pushing? I think you better get your numbers down on paper and let your fingers do the walking when you buy your next clutch.. because I think people are not selling you the proper one for you needs.

Sounds to me like you've been doing high rpm clutch drops with sticky tires. This will kill any clutch. I suggest you practice slipping the clutch for smooth launches, rather than dropping the clutch. Even if you buy a stronger clutch, if you shock the drivetrain, something's gonna break. If the clutch is too strong, you'll snap an axle.
