how many of you leave the clutch depressed and in 1st gear at a stop light?
how many give the revs over 2k and release very slowly to start out?
just curious... the clutch in the AM should last many miles. however almost all clutches are abused in my opinon. the should not really wear at all unless you are in stop and go traffic every single day.

I have been super careful so far. I pull away from stops slowly, minimizing the revs when the clutch is engaged. Never leave it depressed for more than a second or two.

Lawsut: did you buy it new? I bought my V8V in November with 7500 miles. I've already put 6500 more on it as my DD. I'd be ecstatic if I could get over 50k miles with that first clutch!

what's failing on the clutch? the smell if you rev the engine and let the clutch out , is pretty strong and happens easy, so im thinking it sheds the clutch disc materal.
is the pressure plate losing spriing pressure, TOB? or is it the clutch disc and the pad material.

FYI I'm a pretty new owner and these clutch stories scare the **** out of me. Car only has 5k miles on it, but from what i've read on these forums it can still fail depending on how it was treated earlier in it's life. All I keep on thinking about is when it was delivered the car smelt of burnt clutch from the truck driver
