AP clutches don't fail like they used to

[RedSpike66]

Or do they ??

I heard a rumour that AP had improved the clutch such that the fingers didn't break anymore, or were more resistant to breaking....

The key word there is "rumor", Mike.

Is that the clutch out of your sag? 2516 doesn't sound a very big number for so late in production, and the later baskets/diaphragms were rivetted together not bolted like the one in the picture ..

That was pointed out to me by my garage.... I get the feeling the previous owner might have not got a brand spanking new clutch when he replaced it 13k miles ago.....
