I swear, I find myself looking for opportunities NOT to use the clutch, then I start having fun and forget about it.
I just keep my fluid clear and fresh and don't hotrod or do crazy stuff, I haven't got the time to take it apart and change the CSC.
I had a Pinto for 12 years and absolutely beat it to death and never once had clutch problems. I rebuilt the motor at 130K for the fun of it and didn't need to change the pressure plate, clutch, or throw-out bearing. I did change the throw-out bearing just because. Of course, it was cable...my point being that it would be nice to have a MT Z that didn't engender worry about the CSC failing, so I could just drive and not have CSC gnawing at the back of my mind every time I shift. I'm learning to adapt though... the fun wins every time.
Is there a pattern where guys change their CSC to an aftermarket and soon after their MC fails? Maybe there is some hydraulic incompatibility with the aftermarket being of stouter material/workmanship takes more pressure to move the aftermarket the same distance?
