So you blame the OEM clutch as being weak? Yet in the same post you say you learned how to drive stick in the car and your dad would routinely burn the clutch? Come on dude, you suck at driving stick, don't put the blame on the clutch.

umm, what that means is I learned how to drive stick on it so I wore it down as well as when my dad drives it he burns it, so when the OEM clutch is weak to begin with it just wares it down faster

lol, probably. the thing did have 130K on the original clutch. i would definitely not be learning how to drive a stick in a $35K+ new car.

18k is pretty short, but ive heard of evo clutches wearing out in just 300 miles, so yeah you never know. Atleast the new clutch will hopefully last longer, and if it doesnt, THEN! we can blame it on user error.

300 miles? what's the full story? that seems highly unlikely, unless the driver was intentionally jacking up the clutch
