Another symptom of a weak clutch is it releases way high on the pedal (like almost before it runs out of room when you take your foot off the clutch).

I had the clutch and RMS changed on my CSS this spring - $1700. Right around 30K mi. I use my CSS for DEs and I don't know how to heel-toe so I was abusing the clutch with high rev downshifts. Since I'm now $1700 lighter, I've gone to using more brakes to slow me down. A set of pads is $165. The math works out better.

My clutch shot craps after a DE w/e at my local track and 9 days before I was supposed to leave for a 3 day DE at COTA. The folks at Woodhouse did an excellent job of working me into their schedule and got it done at 5pm the day before I left. I really had to cross my fingers that everything was done correctly, but it was and I didn't have any issues to, at, or back from COTA.
