Clutch job on L.I.....
I think the time has come for a new clutch, can anybody recommend someone on Long Island for this job??
Also, any ideas in terms of overall cost?

Not that many, about 15k, only the last 2k have been with the tune.

Lets set something up, I'd go with the Clutchmasters setup. We put that on this car and its running perfect. Shoot me a PM or email if you're interested. Thanks!

Is it very normal for our Clutches to wear out that fast because of a tune??

With just a tune, the problem is likely caused by a weak pressure plate. Slip it enough and I guess you can eventually kill the clutch.
