I just had some work done on my 4kq at Best Service at 96th and Aurora in
Seattle. When they handed the car back, they said the clutch pressure plate was
worn, although they didn't go so far as to say it urgently had to be done this
week or this month. The mechanic said that when he let off the clutch, it was
too quick to engage, and at some point I'll reach a point where it won't
disengage at all.

I got the car at 154k, and it's now pushing 173k, so I don't have the feel of a
fresh 4kq pressure plate for comparision. Am I right in understanding that 4kq
clutches are normally good for ~250k? Ballpark idea how much longer mine might
be good for? TIA
