I have seen mud packed into the pressure plate causing an issue like that, also check the linkage where the slave cyl is. Make sure that's not too tight

Mud is hard on a machine in many ways.

The job is not that bad, just time consuming and a little frustrating depending on what approach you take. All in all should take about 5 hours worth of work to get the clutch in and out. I would not think of replacing it with such low mileage unless it is already burned up. When you get the tranny out check for the packed in mud in the bell housing and pressure plate, disassemble it and wash in brakeclean, it evaporates fast and leaves no residue. If the mud is the issue, then find a way to seal it up as best you can when going back together if you insist on playing in the mud. Also go ahead and drain the tranny and diff fluids and change those with a synthetic, I reccomend Royal Purple 75W-90, and find your vent lines for the diffs and tranny and extend them up if there is water in them. something as high or higher than your deepest water you plan on being in. I usually extend them up the cage to the top of the buggy. If you get it that deep then you have real issues that no amount of extending lines and snorkleing will help.

I have over 3000 miles on my 2008 t2,, clutch is still great. If I was putting in new, if price wasn't too far different, I would go with upgrade. Otherwise stock has been great for me.

Retail is 70 on the disk, there were 16 there at no limits a week ago. I know I laid my hands on them myself. I have seen stock clutches last thousands of miles. There is something went wrong with yours to do that in 150 miles.

Those shreaded clutch pieces reminds of a learning experience from my teen age days, AKA real screw up, My dad had a 6 cylinder chevy pick up with a 4 speed manual, 1st gear being granny or compound, but real low, max speed with engine revved was about 15 mph. One day, at the top of a hill, I put in first and held the clutch in and let it coast down the hill, planning on letting clutch to see if it would drag the rear wheels, at about 25 mph, every thing started shaking real bad. It tuned out that the clutch plate had slung apart. OOPS, sure glad I had an understanding dad.
