Angry Why does the f-23 hate me?

My entire aftermarket clutch/pressure plate/flywheel setup was just royally fucked. Pressure plate went out, keeping the clutch engaged in gear. Not only did this happen on the fourth of july but i was over 100 miles from home. So i drove 100 miles without a clutch having to turn the car off everytime i wanted to launch from a complete stop.

pulled the tranny this evening and found the pressureplate stuck to the clutch/flywheel. All three are FUBAR'd

This is my second f-23 since i've supercharged the 2.4, and i'm already losing my second gear syncros. I don't drive my car like a retard, hell i never even do a burn out unless im at the track.

Since i need a new clutch/pressure plate/ and flywheel i'm decided to go a different route and lets just say i have some very unusual transmission plans in the making.

according to GM, these trannies are only meant to hold 170ft lbs of torque which im guessing your over, maybe theres a way to beef up the trannies?

I guess ill be the one to point this out, you guys are aware that synchros arent directly affected by power right? So you MUST be driving like an @sshole.
