Something very wrong..help?

[Truckstr]

Unless you just aren't familiar with how to drive "stick" (no offense intended), then I would say that it is/was a "pre-existing" condition.

If, for instance, someone "rides" the clutch or pulls to heavy a load, then that can wear down a clutch pretty fast.

What has been described as the corrective action, sounds like a lot of work - and it can be - but IF you plan ahead and get all the right parts ahead of time to do the job, then it's not all THAT bad.

Chalk it up as a learning experience.

If ya need pointers, there's enough help on these boards to get ya through.
