Driveline
Transmission (Manual)
The mechanical link between engine and rear wheels on a manual car. The clutch is the weak link as power climbs.
Clutch Disc
driveline.transmission-manual.clutch-discHolds power. Stage 2 organic clutches handle 500-600 ft-lbs; twin-disc clutches go beyond 800.
Tradeoff: Aggressive clutches give a sharp, on/off pedal feel. Twin-discs chatter at low speeds.

Pilot Bearing
driveline.transmission-manual.pilot-bearingView on car0 productsFlywheel
driveline.transmission-manual.flywheelLighter aluminum flywheels reduce rotational mass for snappier rev response.
Tradeoff: Too light and the engine becomes harder to drive smoothly at low RPM. Steel/billet flywheels last forever; aluminum needs the friction surface re-machined.

driveline.transmission-manual.shifterShort-throw shifters reduce the distance between gears for faster shifts.
Tradeoff: Increased effort and notchier feel. Most aftermarket shifters trade comfort for precision.

Transmission (Automatic)
The 8HP is shockingly strong stock, but a higher-stall converter and recalibrated valve body unlock real launch and shift performance.
Torque Converter
driveline.transmission-auto.torque-converterA higher stall converter (3000-3500 RPM) lets the engine reach the meat of its powerband before applying torque — critical for built or supercharged motors.
Tradeoff: Higher stall = looser highway feel and more transmission heat. Daily-driver-friendly stalls (~2400 RPM) are a safer bet.

Driveshaft & Mounts
A lighter one-piece carbon or aluminum driveshaft cuts rotational mass and reduces driveline lash on power-on/off transitions.
Engine Mounts

driveline.common.transmission-mountView on car0 productsDriveshaft
driveline.common.driveshaftOne-piece carbon or aluminum driveshafts cut significant rotational mass and reduce driveline lash.
Tradeoff: Original two-piece units have a center support bearing; one-piece designs are stiffer but transmit more vibration.
