Post #261,583 by folkert 7/13/06 2:17:51 PM Reply	Well, premature failure is Typically covered under warranty. Especially if the failure was caused by some other piece of the motor, such as a seal or crack in something that wasn't supposed to have a crack in it. BTW, how often would you consider a clutch to fail, typically, in terms of distance driven? I've seen them last for 200K Miles before, with someone that knows how to properly use a clutch. I've also seen clutches only last 300 Miles, because the person rode with thier foot on the pedal, causing slippage that cooked the clutch, glazing the clutch disk, the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Still works, but I can tell it needs replacing. Mechanic's told me as much, too. I think I'll hold out and see how long it can last. Maybe because I don't drive alot, I can wring another year out of it. Car's 8 years old now... -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
