Well the designers of the Eclipse and Tallons had given thought to someone
doing a 5000RPM clutch dump, they designed it so that the clutch releases
slowly, some sort of restriction in the slave cyl. I read this in an old
Turbo
mag. I can't recall what was the weak link, but with AWD traction, something
was bound to break.
