Is it a different brand or type of clutch every time? Are you replacing the pressure plate as well? Maybe your cable is stretched and is allowing wear? Just a couple ideas. :shrug:

i have tried two different brands of clutch kits. both were from advanced auto. the first one was like o.e.m the second one was supposedly a beefier clutch ( didnt look any different to me except for a different box) and yes im replacin the p.p. i put a new kit in it both times. the clucth cable is also fairly new (about 3 months old) i do tend to speed shift and slm gears from time to time but it shouldnt be that easy to break them should it? thanks for the quick reply
