ok, you covered the part about getting a "good torque convertor"

but what is your take on a "good clutch"

99% of the cars I have had or have or either a 3 or 4 speed so I have been through clutches that wore out from natural wear .....I had one that I destroyed from being an ape with it. But so far I have used the O.E. replacements from advance auto and they seem to have held up ok except for the one time I really abused one and totally smoked it.

Is there room for improvement in the O.E. spec clutches without getting crazy on spending? I am not sure I can see spending 500+ dollars for a fancy centerforce in a street car but I don't know......what is the opinion out there?
