How many miles did you have before you had to replace your clutch? i have 25000 and its acting up. seems a little premature to me. im not terribly hard on it and have only been to the track once.

Im at 222k is that crazy.my last stick car was like 40k if i was lucky but have found its the way some drive stick.your clutch is like a brake pad every push on pedal wears clutch.my faults were downshifts,i now wait to shift or if i downshift i try to accelerate 1st than use engine as a brake,most just ride clutch pedal out.i also shift without clutch

I changed mine at 28,000 to a Fidanza flywheel and a centerforce clutch.

I thought my clutch was stating to so bad. when I actualy did the work I found that it was not bad. It ended up being the differential that was slipping. In the long run im glad I changed the clutch. and now I going with a Detroit TrueTrac differential.
