Clutches work on friction, kind of like brakes in reverse. If you keep slipping the clutch, especially when revving the engine a lot, you'll burn up the friction material the clutch is made from, and it won't grip properly to transfer power anymore.

You burn up clutches faster in urban driving, where it's stop start all the time, and you're constantly on and off the clutch. You can kill one inside 10k if you're really abusing it. On long-haul work at constant speed, no gear changes, clutches can last a ridiculous amount of time.

Depends on the type of vehicle as to cost. ON some (like my truck) you have to drop the transmission to rreplace the clutch. Others you open a side plate and pull some stuff to geet to the clutch. ON a ranger (4x2) the estimate was 800 to 1000 dollars US. I did it myself because I had a backup car, was not in a hurry and I am cheap. Parts cost me 200 plus some tools I wanted so add another 100.

can i use a c4 trans and transfer case in my 86 bronco II it has a 2.9L and what parts do i use and from what?

Hey there, first it depends on the type of car that you are driving... if you are peeling out and popping the clutch often on a big car or truck- thats a lot of weight to be jerking around. Second, if you race the car hard or towe anything around you are putting more weight on the clutch when you change gears. It can cost you anywhere from 50-150 to get the parts, but 100-300 for labor. In a brand new car, a clutch can last 60-70,000 miles driven normally. Good luck!

The clear coat finish is flaking off my black 2000 Dodge Dakota. How can I fix this myself?

A clutch wears out just like your brakes do. The life expectancy of a clutch depends on your driving habits. Considering you know how to drive a stick properly and are not doing alot of stop and go driving, you could get 100k miles or more. The cost depends on the make of the vehicle but on average if it is front wheel drive you can expect approx $500-700.
