    My 6 puck in my BP slipped at first when it was brand new but after break in it grips incredibly strong. Sometimes trying to take off easy can be a pain though. It always wants to spin the tires.

      I pretty much believe neanderpaul when he tells stories of 300,000+ mile festies with factory clutches.

      I also cant recommend a hard clutch on a glass transmission. That thing slips for a reason. Its the fuse between the engine and transmission. E-series doesnt take too well to the shock of hard launches as wheel hop.

        How is that? I've done a couple of BPs and B6s, B6 is WAAAY easier. No mounts or wiring at all (except for the injectors on some years), bolts right up. Unless you are talking about the Fseries trans VS Gseries... in that case still the Fseries is still easier to find parts, since it doesn't require the elusive XR2 halfshaft. As for clutches, I beat the crap out of an Autozone special clutch kit for 50K behind a BP, most of that stoplight to stoplight in the city, and it finally started slipping a little by that point, but I traded the motor for another car soon after that anyway. That was on a stock E-series trans with about 170K on it when I started, 220K by the time I got rid of the motor.
        No festiva for me ATM...
