Whats it doing to make you think its going out? How hard are you on it? 30k can be a lot of miles if the car was driven hard. Your clutch could go at 3000 miles if you really tear the **** outa it.

the pedal has to come almost all the way out for it to grip and most other cars it was more at the bottom of the pedal. It could just be me being paranoid (which i always am about my car). Im not that hard on it but im def. not afraid to cut it loose on the streets. I Havent even got it to a track yet since i bought it right before winter.

Late release is definitly a sign of a worn clutch. Have you tried pulling up on the pedal to adjust it? Might wanna think about getting a new one soon.

i have to let my pedal up 3/4 way before it starts to grip.... ive taught to many people how to drive manuals. [:@] they both stalled the sh*t out of it when i taught them. [:@][:@] so i will be lookin for a new clutch within the next 4-5 months probably.
