    I have been advised that because my clutch seales are bad and the clutch is slipping that the clutch will have to be replaced. The clutch is not even a year old. It is my understanding that once the clutch is "saturated" it will have to be replaced.

    The clutch only slips on the expressway if I give it full throttle. The leak is only the size of a baseball in a given week.

    Thoughts/suggesions/comments.

    Thank you,

    Up once the organic material for the clutch gets contaminated you need a new one. Instead of buying a new one just get it rebuilt with carbon clutch pads. That will save you some money. The other thing is you're gonna need the all of the seals done. Do a search of the archives as there is plenty of info on how to changed the clutch and seals yourself.
