1, 1,event);" onmouseout="hidetrail()">Could last 27,000 miles, 150,000 miles or more. Depends on how you drive it. The less aggresive you are, the longer it may last.
You can tell it's going bad when there is: 1. no freeplay in the clutch pedal, this is the first 1" or so at the beginning of the pedal travel, or 2. when it slips, engine revs but your car isn't taking off as fast anymore. Note that you might smell the clutch disk burning.
Be nice to it, don't "ride" the clutch, make sure your shifts are "completed". You can still drive hard when you want to, just make sure the clutch pedal is all the way out (foot off) when you floor the accelerator and do "clean", smooth shifts. _________________ www.CustomCarputers.com

yes, sulfer sounds about right. No other way to really discribe it. _________________ www.CustomCarputers.com
