Question Getting an exedy twin plate clutch...

Been thinking of getting an exedy twin cerametalic clutch (The MM022HD one).

I've seen many posts of people complaining about that clip breaking off...

should i be worried and look into something else, or is it very unlikely to happen?

oh and the ams conversion won't work for me because:
1- out of budget
2- i have a 6-speed

what i'm actually trying to find out is whether we just have a bunch of isolated cases on evom, or if this is a recurring issue, and if there are any long term solutions other than the AMS conversion.

The only problem I have is haven't found enough cars to break off.

I have had issues with my clutch draggin since day 1... Very disapointed in the Exedy. I know alot of people like it and have good luck with it. Maybe I just got a lemon... I have put 405$ worth of parts in it due to it warping a top plate etc... But I havent had the clip issues... yet. And i have yet to even make a pass with it... So its not like im ******* it out and then complaining because I wore it out lol.
