OK, I need some feedback on a clutch replacement. I have a 2002 CC coupe with 4500 miles on it. The entire gearbox failed and is being replaced under warranty. The shop said there is 40% clutch wear. I am now averaging about 500 miles a month, so theoretically I will be do for a clutch in about 13 or 14 months. If I change the clutch now I will be charged for only the clutch parts and additional labor - about $2200 vs about $3600 for a new one. The shop says wait because the clutch parameters are on the conservative side and they don't think it's worth paying for a clutch now. I am trying to decide if I should do it now or wait the 13 or 14 months and pay an additional $1400.
Has anyone had any experience with the clutch read-out. How accurate is it. Is 40% really 40%? If the clutch fails in 3 months I will kick myself for not changing it out now.
