I'm still considering the Monster triple disk, even though RPM Transmissions doesn't seem to like it. Reviews seem to rate it very highly. So I'm thinking, heck, pulling a transmission to get it rebuilt in 10 years may be a whole lot easier and cheaper than replacing a clutch on this car again. But as Connie brought up, am I REALLY going to put that many miles on the car to make any difference?
I figure I've put less than 7,000 miles on the car since July of 2012. I think under 300 miles this past year. But will I drive it more if I don't have to worry about a strange intermittent drivetrain noise?
I've also looked briefly at some of the other manufacturers, but kind of leaning towards the front runners in the reviews I read. Mantic used to be what I would consider ad the number 1 choice a while back, but it seems there are a number of complaints from some people about them lately. Mostly about longevity, if I remember correctly.
Anyway, I still need to do as much research as I can before I'm pressed to the carpet to make a decision on one.
Oh yeah, I noticed that Monster will warranty their clutches for a year whereas McLeod only warranties theirs for 90 days. I kind of look at warranties as being the manufacturers' indication of how robust they consider their merchandise to be. A company that warrants their merchandise for a year, expects it to last at least one year. Someone who warrants it for 90 days only expects it to last for 91 days. In my opinion, anyway.
