When they fail, do they fail catorstropichally or is it a slipping thing. I noticed the clutch in my 16v rocco didn't seem to last all that long it would slip when shifting @ high rpm from 1st to 2nd. I put a new one in before I put it away for awhile, so I don't know if it'll do it agian. I had 256 cams in it and it did see 7k fairly frequently.
