Hello,

I recently had a new clutch, master and slave cylinders installed in my 96
Acura Integra GS-R which has 118K miles. The flywheel was resurfaced at the
time the new clutch parts were installed. The clutch feels and operates like
it did when the car was new. I took it to the 1/4 mile track for the second
time before burning up the original clutch. I'm lucky the car went that many
miles on the original clutch to begin with. My question is how much abuse
should a new clutch take at the 1/4 mile track. Anyone have any experience
in this area that can estimate the life in miles, based on going to the
track 2 times or so a month? I know it may be difficult to estimate, and the
life will depend on many factors, but will I shorten the life from 100K+
miles to half of that or somewhere in between? I have no idea what to expect
and may not go if I'm going to burn through another one again very quickly.
It's not an inexpensive repair. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Troy
