Got a manual 2019 with a Roush phase 2 kit.

I realized I'd probably have to buy a new clutch after the supercharger. Seems like its been wearing it down faster?because of the more power?
(grinded plenty of times since i'm driving like a maniac mostly) I don't really drop the clutch or do burnouts like that. Maybe a small handful of times honestly...

But since I have to replace the clutch eventually I'm looking to get some recommendations for a build with a little more reliability or advice on if I should look into getting a different transmission?


1. Don't have issues with "slop" or play/wigglyness with the current shifter.
2. And no issues with the way it trans shifts now..
3. Just want a fun street car that is going to be little more reliable. Not necessarily going to beat the hell out of it intentionally but just have fun.


But I definitely think its about time to start looking into the trans. Also started hearing some noises after doing a few 1st gear pulls. It's hard to reproduce but it's like when i'm already in gear and accelerating around 4k rpm in 1st or 2nd. It almost sounded like a beeping or high pitched sound. Sounds kind of like this video too though

I haven't upgraded tires or subframe bracing yet. If I punch it shifting 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd it hops all over the place. Could that be the jerkiness you're feeling?

I find it smoother driving with traction control off. It's at least predictable then..

Have you found any info on roush saying you can only run a stock clutch with their calibration? I’ve emailed McLeod and they confirmed some customers with roush kits get trouble codes.
