So far I'm pretty happey with the entire package with the exception of the clutch. I"m getting the feeling the clutch isn't going to last but maybe 100K before the springs in the pressure plate are so weak that it'll be chattering. Before everyone starts asking, I've been rowing gears all my life, from my 70 Olds with a 455 and a muncie M22, my Harley and last stick was a 96 Passat. I sold the 96 with over 270K with the original clutch and it was still decent even at that kind of miles. The clutch seems kinda sprung light, meaning the springs in the pressure plate are week for the torque of the diesel,. anyone else get that vibe?
