It also is a safety hazard because the clutch went out on the freeway (mid-day moderate traffic) if i didnt know how to rev-match i would have been stuck on the freeway where there is no left emergency lane, so i would have had to coast across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder. i would call that a safety hazard
Did the dealer find blue'ing on the flywheel?

Hey guys. This isn't going to turn into another, "Lets bash the guys who blew their clutches" thread.
Let them file their NHTSA complaints. If you don't approve of it, so be it. Start your own thread and title it, "my clutch is fine" and have your own conversation.
