At the age of 76, I simply don’t care. I do smoke in my Mustang. Value down the road will be up to my descendants when they decide to take my keys away.
My 24 vert is black on black on black. I don’t enjoy being the flashiest car on the highway. Stripes look crazy good, but I think that they are also a popo magnet.
As the clutch is a wear item like brake pads, my first guess would be that they won’t warranty this part. If something else is broken it may be different.
