Need help - Clutch Blown on DB9 after 8k

Pharmacist

Does she ride the clutch when driving or slip it excessively when shifting? How about the adjustment of the clutch. It should be adjusted such that there is about 3-4 cm of free play from the pedal before it begins to disengage the clutch. If it wasn't adjusted properly from the factory it is possible that the clutch wasn't completely engaged when the pedal is all the way up. This will lead to slippage and burning of the clutch material. DId she ever notice clutch slippage or the smell of burning material?

How on earth can a clutch cost 12-16k? That's more than the cost of a twin turbo kit and a set of coilovers for the z. Even with labor costs, there's no way a clutch will cost that much. Maybe it's gold plated or lined with precious gems or something

Well, if all else fails, you can tell her to trade in that p.o.s. aston for a 2012 nissan 370z. 44000 km on my car, including a ton of spirited drives and over a dozen track days, and the clutch is still as good as new
