6-Pack Listers,

I don't know if any of you out there have experienced the same issues and 
experience I have had with the Luk clutchs from TRF.  Today, I am putting in my 
3rd clutch in the 5 years I've owned my 6.

I replaced the original clutch with a LUK, when I bought the car in 2000 and 
replaced it again with a LUK in May 2003 when rebuilding the motor, because of 
a broken finger.  I knew it needed replacement at that time due to alot of 
whistling noise it made.

Now, while the tranny is out to replace a rear main seal (also only 2 years old 
and from the same vendor), I find that the clutch needs to be replaced again 
due to excessive wear on both the pressure plate and flywheel.  This time the 
clutch lasted 2 years and 6500  miles (since the motor re-build).

Has anyone come across similar issues with the LUK cluch or do I have to 
re-examine how I'm using the clutch pedal?

Regards,
Seth Glassman
