Huh. Wow. The clutch doesn't have many miles on it.

Could an oil contaminated clutch disc eventually negatively affect the pressure plate?

The engine has a few more HP than stock. (115 HP if I recall). My last clutch on this engine was hardly worn at all and had no issues other than a minor shudder at times. It was replaced as a matter of course when the shop installed the rebuilt tranny.

Thanks.
