Hi this is somewhat a longer story, so please bear with me.
recently had trouble with my transmission with a little over 26k on my Fiesta St. Reverse gear just keeps popping out and I knew I was in trouble. Read on here and other threads, as well as consulting with mechanic my transmission is pretty much toast. That's okay and ordered a Clarke setup recently with a new wavetrack lsd. I already do have a wavetrack on my old transmission, but after labor costs are said and done, I figure best to get a new lsd.
My main concern at this point is whether my aftermarket Xclutch and 'single mass' flywheel might be reliability issues. So far the clutch/flywheel hasn't given me any reason for concern. Only quirk is that I get a slight humming sound when the car is on throttle. The part has been on my car for 20k miles give or take. I am considering whether or not to go with a new ST200 clutch and oem dual mass flywheel. Wish it were not so expensive, but it's definitely cheaper than replacing the transmission again and the 2k labor cost to drop the transmission alone.
I don't ever anticipate getting more power than say a S280 turbo on a pump gas, so the ST200 clutch might be perfect. I do try to take the car for track use here and there however.
what are some thoughts here? Sorry for the convoluted situation. Thanks in advance!
