clutch going, 16k miles ? Y2K GTS

[zoomie]

Normal city, highway driving, never had a clutch go on me before.
Anyone else have clutch problems with so few miles ?

Nope

From what I've heard over the past few years, that's very rare... plenty of people who've done track time and have many more miles than that, and still have a strong clutch...

don't you rent this car? That could explain it

I believe my first clutch was replaced at around 18k miles on my 1998 - since the new factory clutch I've run the car hard for another 30K miles without any problem. Just to be safe, however, I'm taking it in on Saturday for some upgrades, including a kevlar clutch and lightweight flywheel.

Replaced mine at 9.5K.

Andy,
No more Super Stock for you!
You've been gone for a while, Are you coming down for Viper Days?

25k and my clutch is fine. But you never know tell they go! Driving habits make the difference. A smooth RPM match to avoid slipping even under heave use
makes the difference.
