the real hint is the excess gm went to with reducing driveline shock. the rubber couplers, the OE clutch design that sticks, one of the reasons that OE pressure plate sticks is the shock reducing spring setup.

you ever drive one of those? they are ridiculous in engagement if they use a high friction material on the disc. transmit a lot of driveline shock
the torque tube couplers are what would worry me, if the shock is enough to break cases like that the couplers are getting raped dry

Never have driven one of these clutches. Had a spec stage 4 with a solid hub in my previous 97z so I have some idea how hard they grab. I wouldn't have installed that without a 12 bolt to handle it. This McCloud clutch sounds like way too much for a stock z transaxle to handle. I would stick with a sprung hub clutch in these cars unless you've switched to a c6z rear.
Ive had a Monster Stage 3, Tex Z Grip that were def worse, again, thats just my 2 cents
and yes the car has been at the track before I owned i, not sure how much tho
