Drifting with feathering the clutch is probably bad to. Guess I should
pay more attention.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">&gt; The factory upgraded 3/4
hubs came in some late 89's and 90/91's.<br>
&gt; Not many (or maybe none) of us rebuilders use them, but instead we
use a<br>
&gt; custom hub made of gear material and not mild steel.<br>
&gt; Even the air cooled trannys have the issue of cracking but with
lower<br>
&gt; powered engines it is not as prevalent.<br>
&gt;<br><br>
Slightly tangential to this discussion, but does that mean that if you
put a<br>
zetec in an 85 manual you would be significantly increasing the risk of
the<br>
hub cracking?<br><br>
