Give some more details on your clutch failures before you blow $$ on
a super-special, ultra-rare, and even more ultra expensive clutch. I
usually get about one season from a stock clutch before the disc
explodes BUT I'm a bit rough on the clutch - 7000 rpm downshifts,
speed-clutch upshifts and the like.
The Center of the disk usually self destructs, however I have also had the
actual surface "chuck" with pieces torn out. I did have the flywheel
lightened and resurfaced Locally and the tranny was rebuilt by German
Transaxle. The disks would usually last a year or two before self
destruction occurred. The Chunking has been occurring more frequently now
that I have a aluminum front motor mount installed.
How are the clutches failing? Does the disc explode? Does it just
slip? Has the flywheel been resurfaced? Details, man, we need
details.

few have only lasted a few thousand miles.
