First of all, it's "GReddy," not greedy, and "Sachs" not sachas. I also did not know that Sachs was making anything other than a stock replacement clutch for these cars, so I'm curious what you have exactly.

That being said, what you describe is typical of a performance clutch. In order to have higher torque holding ability, they are grabbier. If you're on a stock motor, and driving on the street, there is no reason at all to have a higher spec clutch.

As far as what you're killing, you're burning the clutch up, not doing a thing to the gearbox (unless you're just sidestepping the clutch for a burnout all the time).

Finally, there's the question as to whether or not it's a good idea to use run a single mass flywheel without a harmonic damper and a fully balanced engine. Also, do you know if your clutch disc is sprung or solid? If solid, that's really bad news...
