I know they guy went higher on me after starting the job. He said "he didn't know" about the frame issue. And after removing my old clutch I just discovered that I didn't need a new clutch. I guess I'll have to stick with my car for another 100,000 miles Here is my old clutch. It would last more 50,000 miles with me driving it... Clutch Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

This is the cause of Clutch Shatter. Slim Shady experienced it at 35,000 miles and it costs him $1,400 to have it replaced. Ford wouldn't consider it defective either.
