He drove it another 6k miles and sold it with full disclosure. I think the buyer had another engine and was looking for the rest, probably wrecked the vehicle but the engine was OK.
His 100% trust of my advice was the only reason he got that many miles out of that truly iffy repair. He understood the rules and truly dedicated his mind to driving without clutch. The fact he minimized clutch disengagement made it last a heck of a lot longer than I ever gave it a chance of lasting.
