Subject: Re: ZF6 Tranny clutch/gears! by bogus on 2013/3/3 16:30:37 It doesn't, really... but there have been come comedy of errors over the years. SPEC, when they started out, had QC and fitment issues, along with some pretty stupid customer service. The hydraulics were junk for several years, and that was caused by any number of stupid problems... seal fitment, shelf life... In general, figure a clutch is good for 100k to 120k miles, depending on driving style... meaning, if you don't race it and don't beat on it, just drive it... If you do more highway miles, figure upwards of 120k. More city, 95k~100k. The real annoying part is that damned dual mass flywheel... it wears out, and it costs $$ to replace. And it's not serviceable. I wish it could be cut, but it can't... if you cut it, it effects the overall tolerances within the assembly, moving the clutch to close to the engine. Also, the internal springs wear out, this is the ultimate killer... and that's why the clutch only holds for a max of 125k miles. The dual mass will finally come undone at about that mileage point. |
