oh its definitely possible. Some people are very disciplined about driving like grannys. Although that has to be a record for an American made part!

this make me think of an interview I read with a current race car driver over in England who talked about driving as a passenger with Jackie Stewart at the GOodwood festival of speed in a old Ferrari or something. The racer said "I watched him shifting all slow and and old man-like and thought: Man! this guy has lost the plot!! and then I looked up at the time and he was up .3's on my best time!"

aesops moral of the story. Being hard on Santa Clutch isn't the only way to be a cool sport car driver guy.

According to documentation from the dealership from the previous owner the clutch went till 25k. I have a 90 Jetta in my driveway with 180k on it. The clutch is still working fine but as for the rest of the car...

when i got the S i felt that the clutch was very stiff, took the car to my local specialist, he fortunately had another S there so we could check one against another.
he recommended that i take my car back to the dealer and have them taking care of it which they did, but that only the pressure pad kit would be needed, the change was very noticeable.
car had 45000 mls and i guess a good few done in town
