Default Aftermarket clutch/flywheel causes axel damage?

I might have ruined cv joits..axel, whatever it is, lol. My car is still under warranty. However, when they replaced the tranny under warranty, I put in an ACT HDSS clutch and toda flywheel...would that cause axel, cv join damge? Just wondering so I can/can not argue when I go see them on friday.

It could...a clutch with faster engagement and more clamping pressure will transmit more force through the drivetrain.

Good luck with the dealer ~

Yea it could.....With stock power it shouldn't be a problem.....when you start doing more modifications, i would look into getting new axles.

Take it to another dealer. They are not going to pull your tranny to prove that you changed the clutch.

Actually a stronger clutch can be hard on your tranny and axels both. The reason behind this is that they have a more abrupt uptake and are harsher when they transmit the power. I cant see this being a big deal if you're competent with the clutch in slow speed driving. If you drive any car really hard though, you're prolly gonna break ****, so whats the difference right?
