Hello, everybody. I have a Y2KOBW. It has been a great car so far. It's got better brakes than any vehicle I've ever driven.
Now, I have 75,700 miles on it, almost all freeway and urban stop/go. Other cars I've owned (VWs, mostly) needed the clutch changed out after about 100,000 miles. Any experience out there as to how long a 'Roo clutch will last? I'm not having troubles yet, except the hydraulic clutch needs to be pumped up ( 1 stroke) when cool to operate correctly. (I bought the 5speed because I prefer driving manuals, and besides, it keeps the wife from driving it!)
I can't find any sort of inspection hole. Is changing the clutch a major PITA? After rebuilding at least 4 VWs, I'm pretty handy with a wrench. Or is it something nobody but the dealer should do.
Fine forum board, by the way.
