    R-Tronic Clutch Problems

    A quick poll to nail or confirm a members assertion that R-Tronic clutches are generally weak.

    Re: R-Tronic Clutch Problems

    Are you looking for everyone with an r-tronic to post their experience?

    eg for me: v8 (stock) - 12k miles, no clutch problems

    Interesting to read some of the posts from 2007 and 2008.

    I believe they have proven a lot more resilient and stronger than was first assumed.

    I have an R-tronic transmission. My car has ~13,000 miles on it and is stock. I have no problems with my clutch. I love the R-tronic transmission.

    Re: R-Tronic Clutch Problems

    for the thread to have any real use, I'd think it crucial to indicate any major powertrain mods in the posts.
