Clutch inspection
Took these pictures last night, from my point of view I would say the clutch disc has some meat left, it never slips.
Need find out how thick it should be.
Also the slave has a very small amount of brake fluid near the end, took the picture before pulling bleeder off.
Luk clutch, I'm thinking it's original, heard Luk supplied these new on C5.

Theres a LOT MORE to a C5 clutch than just the disk thickness. If it is working properly for your driving style and conditions, DRIVE AND ENJOY!
Find an empty piggy bank. Every day drop in a couple of bucks. When the clutch goes bad,, you can break it open and buy the good aftermarket stuff.
How many miles do you have on the OEM clutch??

Almost 90000, the car is stock, grip is good.
My problem is, hopefully not anymore having shifting issues, in the middle of doing remote bleeder, the ranger method would help for a day or 2.
I know I will need to do the clutch one day and replace everything, torque tube parts too.
Maybe this will buy some time.
