Thats great news. Glad to hear it wasnt the diff.

They told me they used newer updated parts and now it feels fine. The only issue is the smell eminating from the car if you ride the clutch even slightly. Thats not hard going up and down the hills of SF. The original clutch never smelled but that didn't do me any good with all the issues.

The dates of manufacture dont affect the clutch and pressure plate components....only the slave and accumulator. So you should be fine unless they changed out the slave and accumulator as well and didnt pay attention to the dates. Btw being able to smell the clutch from inside your car isnt great.

Somethings not right......unless you are slipping the crapper out of the clutch each time.
