Clutch restrictor

So,is it bad to remove the clutch restrictor? I do not care about breaking driveline parts because I have alredy broke most of them and upgraded to something better(i.e. I have a Quaife LSD). I was just wondering if this was a good idea or bad?

If you have the ability to drive responsibly, take it out. If you drive like an idiot, don't take it out and keep a piggy bank to save for those clutches you are going to need.

Why would it wear clutches faster? I can buy the fact that it presents a risk to the transfercase and tranny but why would it wear a clutch out faster? I f anything I would think the opposite because of less slippage?

You are obviously reading it backward from what I meant.

Restrictor = safer for idiots to prevent other failures = slower engagement = more slippage = more clutch wear.

Duh! My bad. I just re-read your post and yes I read what you were saying backward.

My left foot is my clutch restrictor, except I have more control over pedal modulation.
