3) What else can I do to extend the life of my clutch? I know I have to replace it within a few years (according to the previous owner), and I want to make sure I don't kill my car before I'm ready to give it up!
1) power steering leak
2)lurches as in shutters will happen if your going to slow, if your RPMs are too low then you need to downshit. Subsequently, if its to high and you're not consistent with the throttle, it will be jerk so upshift.
Lol at thinking because you drove long distances you're doing well. I can make it a full tank of gas and only use the clutch like 2 times. You need to practice throttle manipulation like stated.
