F10 M5 manual trans clutch upgrade ??

Hey guys new to the forum looking for some advice on a clutch upgrade. I’ve seen tons of info for DCT cars but none for a manual car.

No clue if there is one or not, but i thought the stock clutch could handle around 900 ft-lbs?

I’ve been trying to find some info and there’s very little. I spent 6/7 months trying to find a manual one and it will be here on Friday. I choose the manual due to what I plan on doing with the car since the DCT cars seem to have issues with the clutches.

I think you're good to go. You'll bend a rod before your clutch goes out.

He's worried about the 5-7 rod issue. Which is the kiss of death for modded cars.

Thought that was only an issue in the DCT cars?
