Sure, dealers know this and just drop the tranny... BUT they CHARGE you as if they dropped the motor, by book time. or if they are feeling full of themselves at 150% of book time!

I've had maxed out K24s on the stock clutch for some 15K miles (25K total) and it's still gripping great. I'm not the biggest abuser, but I drive the car and enjoy a good launch and fast shift here and there at a stoplight or freeway onramp signal.

I'm sure anything with upgraded turbos will start to really test the clutch.
