Fix your oil leaks, or kill your clutch
While my trans was off, I got a good look at the rear of the engine, and the inside of the trans bell housing. Mine was covered in years old oil sludge. It was from the oil leak at the HPFP, and camshaft seal. I had mine fixed fairly promptly when I noticed them, but it still left a god awful mess in there, right where the clutch is. It could have quite easily contaminated the stock flywheel and/or friction plate, and contributed to its demise. A shame, since I actually really liked it.
Thankfully those leaks were patched up before I swapped to my KY clutch. It looks clean. Wish the guy that swapped my clutch before would have told me about this. Would have been nice to know. We were looking around for a while trying to figure out what the mess was from. I thought I punched a hole through the trans at first. Nope, just shattered 3rd
