What he said.

Got one with my car, supposedly low miles. Lasted but a few months driving the car on the weekends not tracking/launching once. Replaced with Comp HD Stage IV and haven't looked back since.

Do you have a clutch fork stopper? If so that could be your whole problem. Adjust it away from the throw out arm and see what happens

I think everyones expectations on the longevity for these clutches is skewed. They are racing clutches and built with that purpose in mind. Lightweight, less material, etc.

I have the HD twin and got 10k miles on it before it started slipping. Drag racing will wear it out even faster.
