[QUOTE="RedZR, post: 14508551, member: 56871"] I was worried about the exact same thing when I purchased my 9,000 mile 2008 last year. Before buying the car I tested it and it acted exactly the way the manual said it would (sudden engagement, slight shudder upon low rpm release and the hissing sound when clutching). I also did the slip test in 5th gear and the clutch seemed tune. I have driven it 3,000 miles since then and it has not changed- still acts fine (knocking on wood) but I have put a little aside in case it should ever need replaced (I plan to go with the RXT) and I found a local shop that I trust. My advice it test the heck out of it before buying and if it acts ok buy the car. These things are way too much fun to not buy because of a replacement item that *might* fail before its time.
