Fried the Clutch

Post by jricoctg »

finally blew the clutch out. got off the highway, tried to go on a green light. nothing. it had a 127 K on it. time for a new one. it didnt give any warning signs or anything. its a daily driver, no hard abuse no burnouts or dumping it.
no grinding or trouble shifting at all. kinda random. any one else have a clutch go out at random?
