well i'm new. just got my s2k 2 days ago..400 miles. this was the first car ive driven manual on. after a few stalls the first day, i have not stalled at all and stick is becoming second nature. my question is this...since i am new, what would cause me to wear the clutch down fast, how would i know if i was doing damage, and can i ruin the clutch by 1000 miles...?


the s2k is a great car...proud to be an owner white/red

Ray, you won't wear the clutch just by stalling the car. It's when you "slip" the clutch at high RPM that you'll do damage.

Make sure you do not rest your foot on the cluth pedal when cruising or it will quickly wear out the clutch.

Good luck,
John
