    I didn't hear of replacing the hydraulics when doing the clutch, how bad could they be? I'll try replacing the fluids and bleeding it. I have tried the hills/rocks in both 4low and normal. And replacing a clutch in 1000 miles???? I really don't want to have to do that I can't imagine a clutch going bad that quickly

    This is a personal thing with me when the vehicle needs a clutch it most likely time to replace the hydraulics .

    Most often around 150,000 .

    Then living in the liquid brine belt the hard line to the slave cylinder rusts out first.

    Clutches should be driven easy and not overheated for the first 500 miles. This is a break in period. Did you do this?

    I replaced a clutch assembly in an Acura with 190000 miles on it, it was a factory installed Luk brand, needless to say I replaced it with another Luk brand.

    Luk are perfectly good clutches and many OEMs use them. Also most likely a hydraulic issue would have the opposite affect, as in you push in the pedal and the clutch won't release
