I replaced my stock clutch at 36K because the chatter was driving me nuts! Still held find, but had to keep explaining the noise to people every time I gave some a ride!
In neutral I can slightly hear the TOB when stopped with my head under the car Oh I failed to mention it currently has 78,9xx miles on it if that makes a difference

Nope, stock shifter... needs a short throw though haha

The fluid hasn't been changed in 45k miles, has no torque management, car makes within 5rwtq of the transmissions max rating, I autox it, manually shift it on occasion (for gear holding purposes, not drag), and it has 106k miles on it. It doesn't grind or slip though, ever, and the fluid is still nice and pink
Keith, I'd never go to auto in a car like this! It's far too much fun and sounds wayy better But your trans is def not bad for the amount of abuse I've seen you give it haha but you need to slap a manual in there !
