Any easy way to tell?

What clutch I have in my car? Bought my car used. The only reason I ask is I have 32k on the car now, since I have had it I have done between 15-20 6k 2 step launches; car is still running strong. I know the clutch can't be stock.

I have been told that there is a rubber grommet on the bottom of the bell housing that you can take off, and then take a peek inside. I guess the stock clutch is dark grey in color.

Don't hold me to that though, I have yet to try it.

Could be your launch technique. I'm wondering the same thing. My car had 5k on it when I bought her and now were at 37k and the clutch is still holding strong. Launching your car the right way could save quite a bit of time on the clutch.

Just my 2cts

That is true....BUT when I first started practicing I did get some clutch smoke.

Hmmmm rubber grommet...I have to check that out. Where exactly is it?
