WOW - that was just awesome. Was nice of him to document all the damage so thoroughly.

I work at a national used car recondition and resaler, and we had this little shithead wigger kid with a Marauder that mommy bought him come in for 3 sets of tires, 2 set of front brakes, 2 new rear-ends, and an ENGINE in a span of 8 months... all covered under our extended warranty. After the engine blew up, we (Service Manager and technician) got on YouTube, and did a little research. Turns out the kid had a buddy recording of of his ass sliding antics in said car. One warranty decline and call to mommy later, car is sold, and kid is SOL. Happy ending, except for the ruined Marauder. I really like those, and he make the beast with two backsed it up something fierce.  [bang]

it is a normal wear item.... but there are times when you can get one covered by warranty within the 12/12 time frame


Its suprising how many clutches ive replaced under 12,000 miles. 90% are due to abuse with the other 10%  being a true mechanical failure not influenced by the owner.  Ive replaced two clutches on brand new cars that were ruined by the transport truck driver during loading and unloading.  If you pregnant dog enough about a clutch failing that premature Porsche will sometimes pick up the tab.

You'd think a truck driver could handle a clutch...

are the Porsche clutches that fragile...

or were the drivers really that bad?

Probably a combination of a bad driver(who doesn't know it) and a high hp motor, I've seen this a couple times with some of the newer AWD cars too. Boy racer trying to burn out in a STI/WRX. I feel like knockiong on the window and saying "um, you realize the advantage of the AWD is that it DOESN'T spin as easy right?"

Nothing fragile about them at all. Seen em go over 100k before but the average is 60 - 70k.  Granted if you let one slip and pour on the coals you can destroy it pretty fast.

A buddy of mine had a Taurus SHO.  Brought it in for some warranty work.  The clutch was fine.  Picked the car up and he could hardly get it out of the parking lot the clutch was slipping so bad.  Somehow the clutch facings turned into slick carbon while at the dealer.

I had the same thing happen to my Mercury Cougar when I moved and had the car shipped.

The car spent 3 weeks at the dealer getting repaired at the movers expense. The movers paid for my rental car and sent me some compensation cash as well. I never got an explanation, but for a brand new car (less than 2 weeks old with fewer than 800 miles) to get the clutch blown took some doing.

Actually it's pretty easy, as Jon said earlier..."If you let one slip and pour on the coals you can destroy it pretty fast."
