Default Life expectance out of textralia?

I put in my textralia about a year and a half ago. It had maybe 2k mile son it and the car would no go into gear. SO i got a hold of pete from textralia and he told me how to fix it. The pressusre plate blots backed out. So i fixed the problem and everythgin was great! Now i am at about 8k on the clutch and its startign to slip. I can feel it when i am stop and go traffic, and of course at the track I only have maybe 10 passes on the clutch and since i did my H/C mabye 5! Is it tiem for a new clutch? Should it go that fast? I mean when i spent 1000+ i was hopeing to get a lil more life out of it

Are you sure the preasure plate bolts arent in the process of backing out again?

It is possible that the first problem may have super heated and prematurely worn the frictions out through not correctly disengaging at the time.

Get onto Textralia admin@textralia.com.au leave a number with your details and they’ll certainly help you out.
