My gut feeling though is you're eating up your clutch due to your style or type of driving. Do you do a fair bit of stop and go driving? Do you ride the clutch? How high are your rpms typically as you release the clutch when you take off from a stop? Do you hold the clutch in when stopped?
I do a lot of stop and go driving because I'm coming home right in the middle of rush hour. As far as riding the clutch, no never I got my hands slapped pretty hard by my dad when he was training me about that. Most times my rpms are between 2.5 and 3.5 when taking off from a stop depending on incline and such. and I always hold in the clutch when stopped.
to 07 Stang:
Do you downshift when coming to a red light or put it in neutral and let it coast?
I always ALWAYS let it coast. no reason to force the engine to slow it down.
and yeah both of you are right, not everyone knows how to drive a stick correctly, even after long periods of time. My thing is, I'm not taking it out to the track, I'm not abusing it, (only I can attest to that) just blows my mind that I went through it that fast. I did take it back to to dealer today, and they found nothing so I'm taking it home. If I ever have to replace it again, I'm going to get a ceramic clutch. I can deal with the "chatter" just not the cost of replacement for now.
sorry for hijacking the thread......
