| I have a 5 speed right now and am at over 48k miles. Should I need to replace the clutch, there are a few choices. I kow someone w/ over 70k miles and no problems either.
The TRD clutch is an OEM clutch w/ heavier springs. There are other clutches by Clutchmasters and ACT, to mention a few. I'm prolly going w/ a Stage 3 or 4 when I get mine. A bit heavier and will pump up your left calf if you have stop and go traffic. | |

| 25,000 trouble-free miles in my manual. I would totally buy another one, in fact, I am. My wife's RS3.0 will be a manual as well (per her request!!).
Good luck and enjoy it!

| no, a 5spd. The Levin 6spd was just something to do to embarass loudmouths on SL who knew everything about everything and that it was "impossible". Same reason everything else was ever done. It's back to 5. No REASON, nothing is wrong with a 6, just put it back until it's over it's warranty mileage. | |
