Well, I toasted my clutch in my '92 Ex - 5 speed manual this past weekend while hunting/offroading in the snow. I had smelled hot clutch for a couple of weekends before (used only on weekends for hunting), but no slippage until this past weekend. I have done nothing to upgrade the OEM parts for engine etc. I have 33's on the truck, with suspension lift. I have 3.73 gears.
I had just replaced the clutch last year with the Luk clutch and slave cylinder kit. Also re-surfaced the flywheel at that time, and the person that re-surfaced had commented that it had been re-surfaced once before, and getting close to bottom of spec's. I would like the clutch to last for more than a year!
What are your suggestions/opinions on what to replace (whole kit or just clutch) - does slave need to be replace if 1 year old and seems to be working? And what I could do to make it less hard on the clutch? Need to get going in the next day or two.
thanks
