If the clutch is capable of transmitting more torque without slipping then it's down to the gears to cope with the strain.
That's the only reason.Anythin else will be myth.
name me a transmission designed in the last 30 years that doesn't have syncros ? THAT comment confused me Again, bad gear changes will tear up syncro dogs if the clutch has strong bite. Down to driver there tho
I've heard some real BS about what a gearbox can and cannot do based on "dragsters use autos so they're what everyone needs"
However, get it wrong and you're left with an expensive coffe grinder.
Rally Mini before JK gear replacements shred 2 sets of helical cut gear.
Makes a REAL and expensive mess in a Mini cos the oil is shared with the engine and all the shards end up EVERYWHERE
