[QUOTE="exdeath, post: 9999761, member: 56343"] When you are already spending the weekend pulling the trans out, spending $600 on a clutch that you likely won't need to replace again any time soon, pulling the trans apart for the forged retainer for another $100+, you already have the trans out on the table and need to re-shim it already anyway, and you're talking $250 more for something that takes 5 seconds to swap along the way, for something you will never have to touch or worry about ever again... why not? Or spend $600 on a 10 spline clutch that you're stuck with and then spend another $600 on a 26 spline clutch if and when you do need it? In the words of Coletti "Put the gold-plated part in there" Anyone who whines about the extra $250 for the input shaft as preventative maintenance on a car that requires $1000 in tires every 6-12 months needs to get another hobby and drive a Prius. Now blowing $1500 on axles you don't need until you start breaking them AFTER bushing overhaul? Completely agree. Input shaft which is mere $250 more one time cost to a clutch job, which is part of a system and future upgrades for the life of the car depend on your choices early on (eg: spline count), go for it. That said, when I get around to investigating my clunk this winter, I may be springing for those forged chromoly CVs if they end up being part of the culprit. Not because I need or want the strength, or worry about breaking the stocks, but for the tighter clearance and less play in my drive line slamming my drive shaft back and forth and giving it a seizure between drive and coast any time I lift or shift or putt along at low speeds in parking lots. That shit is going to snick and click like a Rolex or Colt Python when I'm done with it. [/QUOTE]
