Yeah, those straps broke on my clutch... when i mis-shifted into 3rd instead of 5th at redline. Calculated to about 9500 rpm or better, and no damage to the motor- all thanks to the fact that the pressure plate grenaded. I wouldn't recommend going with a stronger pressure plate unless you're breaking them, just in case anybody was thinking about it. :) _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
