the w58 should be fine without a lot of clutch drops or bouncing off the rev limiter. im running one in my miata with a semi built 7mgte and its holding fine with drifting and autox as well as VERY spirited street driving. just make sure you use a good quality shock proof lube (redline in my opinion is perfect) they put the w58 behind the 2jzge in the lexus cars that were 5 speed and they all seem to hold up fine as well. all you can do is try it though if you can find one cheap enough its worth it to go w58 and just save up for the r154 (thats what im doing) and ive seen a few people use them in 240sx's with 1uz swaps as well they seem to hold up pretty good.
