I agree with BYprodriver.
I replaced my clutch @ ~50,000 miles to install the LN IMS bearing kit. While the old clutch wasn't that heavy (it was approximately 50% worn) the new one felt a LOT easier to use.
I would suspect that the cars that Trax has been trying are on their original clutches and are close to needing to be replaced.
It's probably a good bargaining point if the rest of the car is in acceptable condition - it can help pay for an IMS replacement as well as a new clutch....
