The clutch and fly wheel wore out on the car at 22k miles. This is extremely early for a clutch to fail. The clutch failed on a busy highway (I-81) and I was forced to pull over in an unsafe location. I have driven manual transmissions for many years and have never had a clutch fail at such a low mileage.
