What do you think Mercedes did with their older cars to make the clutch last so long say on the 240D or Larry's 300E? Is it just because newer cars make more power and wear it out faster? Its not unusual to see 300k or more out of an original clutch on these oldies. Why are modern M/T cars on borrowed time by 120k or lower?
