Message	new clutch would start slipping after 100-300 miles of street driving (read: normal commuting) I was in every couple of weeks, sometimes they would replace it, or something else, or adjust it, but really all they did was string me along till the labor warranty ran out. It pissed me off to no end that they refused to warranty a clutch that was installed a week before because it had been more than 6mo's since I originally came in. at least in the end all I had to do was adjust the clutch pedal, but I didn't know that at the time.
