Default CM stage 3

I have a Clutch Masters Stage 3 I love it. It grabs great But has anyone had a problem with it grabing to hard and destroying transmissions I had it on a GSR tranny and destroyed all the gears and broke 3 splines off the counter shaft now I have another tranny and the gears are starting to wear and grind (I dont drive the car that hard)!! Should I try another clutch?Thanks

Do you have a lightned flywheel?? if so that maybe your problem, maybe it is out of balance, I dont see a clutfch tearing up a trans, but anything is possible.

You might want to have them balance the flywheel next time it might cost extra, notice how a tire gets when its out of balance, same goes for your flywheel, but its spinning a hell of a lot faster, and it can fuck some shit up, deffinatly have it checked out.

Maybe I just got a bad apple of a tranny. TenaciousC I can get a whole lot of forth gear so I guess its not the clutch I'll guess I should rebuild the tranny? what do you all think.

i didnt have it with a clutchmasters but i did shit 3 tranny's with an ACT though, so i know your pain but gsr's are hella more expensive. if you keep bulletproofing your drive train, its always the next weakest thing that will break, and with no give in your clutch it was the tranny, did you do alot of powershifting? i know that is what mine came from. try a slightly less aggressive clutch
