Ceramic Clutch material question

I rencentlY purchased a Valair Dual disk ceramic clutch but I have noticed that the ceramic pieces are lots thinner than a regular clutch. Does this mean the clutch will not last as long? and how should I drive with a ceramic clutch? Also what is the best oil to put in the 6 speed? The truck is a 2003 Dodge 2500. thanks

From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
The material (ceramic) is much tougher than orginal and can handle much more heat. Durability built in. Instructions should be included if different. Use NV5600 fluid from dealer, GM shops have also. Will need spec of fluid to assure correct additive package in store bought fluids. Not just any syn fluid is sufficent.
