01Pathmaker Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Going to look at another '01 SE this week, but this one has the 5 speed manual (I'll be so happy to be back in a manual again!). What kind of miles are you guys logging before having to replace the clutch? I know there are many variables, just looking for a rough average, especially for the 3.5/5speed/4wd combo.

ferrariowner123 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 On my 3.3,i bought it with 100k, and at probably about 140, I really starter to notice the clutch dying. So assuming it was never changed, I've gone 145 on an original clutch. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ok. If I remember correctly, the seller said it's got 155k on it. If that's the case, I'll have to find proof that it's already been done or plan on doing it soon (if I buy it). Just another point for negotiating! Pics look really clean, he says no rust and clean interior, asking $3200. We'll see what's what by the end of the week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If there's no paperwork, crawl underneath and look for signs of the transmission being removed. Also a new clutch will have a relatively low engagement point. One that's on its last legs will be up high. Another thing to do while driving is cruise through 2nd gear then dump it in 4th and hammer down. That load will usually make a bad clutch slip.

colinnwn Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Bought mine at 135k, have 220k. Same clutch as far as I know, seems to still be in good condition. I rarely tow, and haven't wheeled in it, but I drive it pretty hard in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixinto Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bought mine at 154k, throw out bearing was bad when i bought it. but shifted fine. Clutch just started slipping a little this winter when it got under 0. now i have 205k on it. Probably original equipment because oddly enough most things that i finally got around to messing with was original. But finally got me a second driver " i need to fix" and then i can address some of the longer jobs on the Pathy. FIRST on the list is...The clutch, PP, and throwout bearing.

01Pathmaker Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 All good info, but unfortunately this truck got sold before I had a chance to look at it. Figured it would, seems to be a rare but desired combo around here. My search continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
