Default Spec POLL results

We had 7 people report failed clutches with the following distribution of purchase dates:

06/2003 - 2
12/2003 - 1
01/2004 - 1
03/2004 - 1
05/2004 - 3
06/2004 - 1

There were 3 people (purchased in 08/2003, 09/2003, and 03/2004) who said theirs is currently holding up fine (with fingers crossed).

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to have data on the type of clutch. I have info for the following people:

K04North - Stage 2
V-Twin - 2/3 hybrid
ImolaRocket - Stage 2

Would the others please post which failed Spec clutch they have?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1717591.phtml">Original Poll</a></li></ul>

Default Link to the POLL so others can reply? (& my info inside)

If there wasn't a specific poll/post, you should create one so that you can point future people to it so they can respond as well.

as for me:
Purchased from Spec
4/03
Stg2
48k miles, and none of the issues others have reported.

Default I am assuming that I am the 08/2003 that is holding up....

and yeah, my fingers are crossed. but FWIW I have a spec2

it does not look like from the dates that you have collected there is any kind of pattern that would suggest a "bad batch" but more data should help us know for sure
