@71-bda: Thanks for pointing out abuse/riding the clutch. This begs some questions about proper driver’s education and good practice. For me seating position is the key. There is enough leg room to rest your left foot on the pedestal, always. In 1979, when getting my licence, cars where a wee bit less sophisticated, electronically speaking. The clutch pedal was so heavy that a cramp in the calf could easily occur in an ordinary traffic jam (the formidable Lancia Beta, Coupé and HPE, come to mind). On the other hand, double-clutch shift was our daily practice and we were not exactly driving Miss Daisy when the speed limit was still 100 km/h on B-roads. I haven’t seen a worn clutch in any of my seven Fords, not even after 160’000 kilometers. And when I gave driving lessons to my girls the first thing I paid attention to is that they did not press the clutch when cornering, a typical female beginners behaviour. In other words, there is both: failing clutches (warranty) and, alas, poor drivers.
