Re: Whwn upgrading towards more hp, what drivetrain parts will fail? What do I do?

Well first of all, if you haven't already, I'd recommend getting "performance" drivetrain fluids. Get a good tranny fluid (many kinds: BG syncroshift, royal purple, gm syncromesh, redline, etc) and good fluid for your rear end and transfer case.

Possibly call a Chrysler dealer with your VIN # to see if the transfer case recall has been checked or performed.

Stock clutches will not hold up long with much power or abuse. I suggest an ACT brand clutch, more so a 2600lb with a street disk. Opinions vary, many recomend the Southbend clutches as well.

I personally have broken shift forks in a tranny, and I've even managed to break the front open differential which put a hole in the case. I wouldn't worry about the tranny too much yet. The late 1Gs have a stronger tranny anyways.
