You will obviously not have this issue on a auto if stay around low 400's. So for the past 10 months of hard driving everything has been performing with no slipping.

Funny thing is, I think the 470nm rating is crank tq. So 346 ft lbs of tq at the crank is the rating. Both of us are running over 400wtq on our clutches without issues though lol
And some N54 guys have been running high 400s on the same type of clutch and tranny with no issues. Hope my clutch will last me for another 3 years, I'd be happy with that.
