Re: Aisin MT Problems

Driving style determines how long a clutch lasts. Try not to slip the clutch very much, engaging the clutch quicker is actually better even though it is jerky. Leave the car in neutral and don't hold the clutch depressed(wears out the throw out bearing) at a light. If you can, rev-match as much as possible. By this I mean if you are down shifting blip the throttle to about 3000-3500 rpm as you let out the clutch. Matching rev's dramatically increases the longevity of the clutch. Also skip gears you don't need, the fewer shifts the less clutch wear. my .02 cents. Hopefully it make cents...See what I did there.
