Dr. Osman:
As you said the life of a clutch is not dependent on miles but on...
clutch strokes....driving habits....load pounds etc...diff and gear box
lub.
caliper restore..tire size...etc
IMHO replacing the T/O bearing guide to metal (ASAP)....and
flushing/bleeding
both the master and slave cylinders EVERY 18 MOS. is a must...of course
that would be a great opportunity to flush bleed the complete brake
system...
