Clutch was in perfect conditions, faliure was in the pressure plate that operates the clutch. Parts department told me that this was not un-common for manual transmitions on SL1 from 96-99 and when new parts were purchased at the dealer, there had been a design change which increased the total cost for the repair. Why was a new design implemented if there was nothing wrong with the old one. Just in Hawaii/oahu there has been about half a dozen of low milage manual trans with clutch system falires.
