My old Mystique was at somewhere between 168,000km and 170,000km when she was done in. The clutch was original and she shifted perfectly ... except for a bad blocking ring which only played up in winter weather, and a little slippage at the top end. Just looking at the purchase doc the other day I bought her with approx. 100,000km on the clock. Driving spirited doesn't have to damage the tranny, bad shifting is what does it most of all.

Still, this one in the CSVT just means I have do get Terry Haines to build me a Quaife installed tranny ... YAY !!
