Message	This is the third clutch going in within a year. All clutches have been installed properly, pedal adjusted properly. All clutches exhibit signs of slipping after 4K worth of driving. After driving it spiritedly, car lost hydraulic pressure. Can't get into gears without immense effort and pumping the loose pedal. Fluid bled till the cows came home. SC intact. Pivot ball looks intact upon inspection. Scared to drop tranny again just to find another burnt up clutch and in this case a possible bent in pressure plate. All prominent brands of clutch have been used, no cheap stuff. Any ideas as to wat the underlying issue is here? This time, it looks like thw pressure plate (zero hydraulic loss/issue), but why this many problems with a single tranny? Need some outside the box thoughts here.
