Love it.

Xtreme pressure plate with organic disk. Can't say enough good about it.

Make sure you break in that thing properly; no dropping the clutch, WOT, or anything above 4000 rpms for 500 or more miles.

What clutch did you get?

Then you burn out a new clutch, glaze your flywheel and your pressure plate, and your clutch slips, requiring you to get a new clutch kit and do it all again.

You've been racing on it, haven't you? (Just judging from your q...)

To be honest, it depends on too many factors.

Just go easy on it for the next 500 miles. If its fucked, it'll slip first time you get on it. If not, you're fine. Chances are, it'll be fine, but it is possible you fucked it.
