Had my NA1 about a month now, love it. The seller warned me I would need to replace the clutch in about 15k miles. Immediately I assumed more like 7-10k miles. However I have only put about 1k on it. Yea I've put some spirited drivin into it, can you blame me? A few soft launches and a few hard launches, all pulled like a dream, and couldn't notice any clutch slip after wards, however over the last 100 miles or so it seems I can only get pull in 1st gear. 2nd - 5th drive like I have the clutch pedal half depressed until I build up enough speed. I'm fully prepared to drop the $1200ish to install a new clutch, but was wondering if it were possible to maybe adjust or tighten my current one to maybe milk a few more miles out of it, now that I have my spirited driving out of my system. Pardon my newbness, but any advice?
note: it smells like burned leather or something if I really goose the gas in any gear. Guessing that's just the smell of a burned up clutch?
