Any advice?

Driving at max power will be hard on the clutch. In hilly country drive using momentum... Gain extra speed on down hill grades so you don't need as much power going up hill. Don't lug the engine... Keep the RPM up and the power low!

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S..

Friends get ready for this…

In the future all individuals will have to buy a large handful of 75 cent carbon credits every week. These carbon credits will be for sale in the Wall Street Commodities Futures Market and speculators will be driving the price up to $4.00 per credit!!!

Why didn't they do the clutch when the trans was out????$800 sounds like a lot for a 4 hour job that can actually be done in under 2 hrs, but that's flat rate for ya.
