430 F1 clutch
Can someone shed some light on this? I bought a 2005 F430 Spider with 500 miles on it last year. It has an F1 transmission. I have put 4500 miles on it in the last year mostly on the highway for a total of 5000. I have had it on the track 5 or 6 times. I don't drag race it, do no city driving with it and take off easliy every time...I've never "laid rubber" with it, not even on the track. My mechanic told me that according to his computer I have used up 85% of the clutch's life, meaning it has only 15% of its life left before it needs replacement! This means the car is going to need a new clutch every 5882 miles. Has anyone ever heard of 430s eating clutches like this? If this diagnosis is correct, what would cause it to burn up so quickly?
