Default new clutch, breaking axles, why?

Ever since i installed my act clutch, it engages so hard.. I even went with the street disc.. I break axles like everytime i shift hard and fast.. What do i need to do to fix this problem. I even put an lsd in and everything.. It just keeps breaking them.. Does anyone else have this problem?

Why dont you shift quick and subtle at high rpm instead of fast and hard. Use finess instead of force. How does your suspension geometery look. Not too low is it?

1) its not the all the disc, its the pressure plate
2) your buying cheap axles. http://www.driveshaftshop.com
3) lsd breaks MORE axles.

what do you think of your LSD, I'm considering one.
Do they really break axles?

Its kind of hard to finesse the clutch when your shifting at 9000 rpms and theres no time to think just shift fast as you can.. I think maybe the extreme pressure plate is part of the reason it breaks axles so much.. It engages so fast and hard it feels like my dash is going to end up in my lap.. Crazy ****!!

The only place i could really feel the diff, is in the turns.. I love the way it feels.. It pulls instead of pushing..
