>> 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?
