This past weekend I went on a trip to Osoyoos and back with my brother in law, which is a 366 km (227 mile) run each way, consisting mostly of mountain roads, twisty corners, and massive hills. I absolutely drove the SNOT/PISS/CRAP/ETC out of it. Many 7000+ RPM shifts, 130 km/h (81 mph) cruising, etc. And the old girl didn't miss a beat and as a bonus rewarded me with 6.3L/100km (37 mpg) round trip!! It's a fun car when you keep the revs up.

The clutch really shutters/chatters a lot when I slip it taking off from a stop. Kind of annoying. It never slips at full torque, so I'm not too concerned. Does anybody have a cheap fix for this, or would I need a new clutch & flywheel to correct this? If so, I will just live with it.
