Mine (535) lasted until 150K and ultimately it was the throw out bearing that went, not the clutch.

To make shifting easier, try using Red Line MTL fluid. I will help.


Only 84,000 miles but daily stop and go driving. No funny noises or noticeable clutch slipping, but sometimes hard to get into first gear. No gear grinding, etc. Better to change clutch now before completely worn out, or wait until slipping and obvious signs of clutch worn out? Thanks!
