Just wondering if you guys go WOT in first gear on the street?
my car doesn't make anywhere near enough power to spin the tires, so traction is no issue, but I certainly don't want to twist/bend the input shaft any more than it probably already is.
I believe the input shaft is damaged from side-stepping the clutch in a high-revving, drag-strip type start from a dead stop. There should be no damage from WOT once the car is moving.
You should be able to spin the tires in low gear - -at least for small amount of time. Not by dumping the clutch, rather by rolling into it once moving.
