I have a T&C and before that a '92 G.C. with the infamous 4spd tranny (no problems when sold at 160K miles)..anyway, I respect the opinions of this group and wanted to ask a question on a non-Chrysler product- I have as my commute car a 1990 Protege with the 5 spd SOHC setup and it still has the original drivetrain including clutch at 220,000 miles. I'm now putting on about 22,000 miles a year, 10,000 of that pure highway 75-80mph and I'm wondering- DO clutches really wear out? If you don't ride it, don't slip it shifting and don't rest your arm on the stick...how long will it last? Tomorrow she goes in to have the "lifetime" rear bearings replaced- I'll do alt, rad, plugs and the like but this one was bit more than I wanted to tackle...anyway...what's the highest mileage ya'll have heard on a manual drivetrain?
Thanks,
Richard
