[QUOTE="vzhq16, post: 1459734, member: 98379"] [USER=86665]@NorCal FJR[/USER] 75,000 miles on the clutch is not horrible. However, your issue raises a few questions. Assuming the master rebuild did not entail touching the slave other that to bleed the system, have you consistently used an oil that meets the JASO MA or MA2 standards?
