Eh, i guess i should go with the stage 2 then.

Today my step dad talked to this guy who builds mustangs, he told him about how my car burns clutches out so quick. He said he had the same problem, he said its something in the transmission that is warped, what could it be? My step dad forgot what he said[:@]

This is the 3rd clutch in 2 years, and during the 2 years they all just burn up so quick that they slip so fast. I also give it a couple hundred miles over the break in period just to make sure.

replace your clutch quadrant sounds like its broken. sometimes when the self adjuster goes it keeps the clutch adjusted too much which burns the clutch happend to my last one went in about a year
