I doubt that's the cause of the csc failure unless you were feathering the clutch on every shift, then the clutch disc will likely to be worn out before the csc. I suspect that the main causes are excessive heat and poor material of the rubber seals.

Cars with external csc would normally last much longer.

The seals fail, I think partly because of the cheesy thin plastic and high pressure causing the part to flex. I'm pretty sure stomping the clutch to the floor on every shift is going to cause the seals to fail prematurely, but I'm not a mechanic.

Elaborate. Clutch mechanic noob here:rolleyes:

Unfortunately I can't because I don't know the exact reason but something to do with shorter stroke of the shaft between the clutch pedal and csc. If I find the thread where I saw the information I will post the link. He claims no one has had a failure after installing his pedal kit, I have no reason to not believe the claim. I have the pedal kit installed and so far so good at 70,000 kms.

Post #125 of the "Review: RJM AFP Clutch Pedal System" thread in the engine & drivetrain section has the explaination. Sorry I couldn't do a link back, I'm forum illiterate.

Since its a cheap plastic i feel like its something that has become inevitable to fail on us :(. Or is it more luck of the draw that you can go 100k without it failing

if ure easy on it, im sure it can last 100K.

i would stay away from rapid pumping of the clutch even while doing the ranger method. my clutch started to squeak after the 2nd cycle. once it cooled down (?) no more noise. felt the same throughout though, and no loss off fluid.

personally im not worried at all.
