Sounds like your clutch has about had it. Again 80,000 seems a very short life for a clutch. Will be interested in knowing who you have change it out and the cost.

Yes & thorough flush (brakes & clutch) can extend some life to the cluches slave cylinder.
but if you are experiencing problems, & it's fluid related..........I'd say a flush is too late. Imo.

Look in the Owners Manual, page 5-23 Hydraulic clutch shares the brake fluid in the Master Cylinder.

The end of my story is that the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and another major part and a seal were replaced. The fly wheel had to be turned down also. Total cost was $850.00 and done by an independent trans shop here in Naples Fl. I saw all the parts that were replaced. Thanks for your input, Harry.
