Well, I'm not one to say since I don't work for GM, but I would say chances are greater if one was to dump clutches/launch control/burnouts on a continued basis. How many launches you can get before it breaks?
but eventually something is going to wear out and / or break. Just sucks that it happened to break on me the first time I tried launch control.
Hopefully I will be getting the car back tomorrow.
I'll tell ya.. I am scared to death to try another launch control with it. Maybe I will stick to rolling starts instead..
Another thing, I did do a couple burnouts a couple days before the launch control, and when I would dump the clutch, I would always get a very noticeable "Thud" noise coming from either the tranny or rear end. Probably the output shaft cracking at the time....
