Local transmission shop told me to not mess with rebuilding a nv3500, the bearings just can't handle the load of anything past "low power stock". I am not sure if he meant stock build, or if there is anything that can be done to make them stronger.

There are alot of clutches out there, only above stock clutch I have run was a centerforce brand.

I have looked into and haven't been scared away from a T56 manual transmission swap. That might be something different enough for you to look at, or maybe just a T5, but either way, they can handle ALOT more then the nv3500
