So I had to push my G through the entire condo complex today...

Well my clutch is finally shot. Yes I know people are going to say how did this happen at 18k. Well first the OEM clutch is weak and 2nd I learned how to drive stick on this car and everytime my dad drives it, he hold the clutch halfway down and all I smell is burning clutch... Good news is JWT clutch/flywheel setup on the way, thanks Sharif!

Also have phase 2 going into my car soon so I will have some teasers coming up. Some of you already know what I'm planning and I'm excited!!!

in your case, there are no weak clutches, only weak / poor drivers.

Clutch is weak, asked professionals about this, was told that it wouldn't be suprising if the clutch would go after 30k. Probably getting Stage6 in Jacksonville to do my install, heard its $500 for clutch/flywheel install there and most shops around Jacksonville. I just hope my car can make it out there and that I don't have to get it towed. : /

I don't know if my clutch is starting to give out or if my throw out bearing finally seized. I'm getting vibrations and rattling every shift now and if I get on it from 40-80mph and shift at 7,500rpm I get a strong burning smell in the car. Sad, because I know how to drive a clutch, but the person that may have had the car before me probably didn't.

Yea it was horrible, right as it was about to go, I had to kick the clutch to get it to come out because it was all soft and staying pinned to the floor. Also had to use some strength to switch gears
