Re: Oil Temp and Clutch life

[Jeremy R King <kingjer@eng.auburn.edu>]

My '85 Quantum wagon has 240k on the original clutch.  And that's after 
my older brother Solo II'd it for a season.  Been through 4 family 
members and three wrecks.  Of course it is only a 1.8L, so it probably 
doesn't see the abuse of the I5.
