I did a search for "clutch thickness" and "clutch specifications" and the like in the transaxle forum with the data set to all. No results.

So my question is this:

Can one tell how much life a clutch has by measuring the thickness of the clutch plate? If so, what are the tolerences (whats new, and at what thickness do you throw it out)?

Thanks for the input. Even a link to a resource where I could find the information would be appreciated.

If you have to have the tranny out I'd put a new one in if the clutch has 60k+ on it. That's my guide.

Yeah go ahead and put in a new clutch while you have it apart. Unless you enjoy dropping the transmission?

Actually, i find it fun! (except for all the insulation cracking off the harnesses....GRRRR!)

I plan on droping it again in 4-6 months for a 3.0L swap, but for now i just need to get the car moving.

Thanks anyways!
