any other person? sometimes im real rough on my clutch sometimes im easy. everyone drives different. I assume by that you meant you are conservative? maybe too conservative?

You should join a mini forum, unless you already have. And look for a write up on replacing your clutch. It's not likely that it went out from easy driving on 33k miles. But it's possible.

My clutch in my honda has about 150k on it, and no problems yet. But for sure I will have to replace it before i go back out to the track.

It's diyable but you need a write up or something to go off of. Find some forums and ask those guys.
