Work has gotten crazy, so I could be later. But it sounds like at least two will be there anyway.

Joe, it wasnt meant to offend anyone in this thread, cuse no one here is what I would classify as "slow". These are your typical old people that can barely use a PC much less a Mac. I'm surprised a couple of them are still alive. If these people where on the road it would be worse than getting stuck behind a camry.

56k for a clutch is good? That's atrocious.

Geriatric people do generally tend to walk slower than a Camry

Also, I'm at 92,XXX miles and my OEM clutch is still workin' like a champ...or boss

Yeah, thats pretty bad for a OEM Mazda clutch, you must be slipping it alot... That kills the life on a clutch. What RPMS to do start out at from a stop? 2K and below is good, anything higher than that and your slipping/burning up your clutch...

Also... A perfect rev match will cause NO wear on your clutch, but it has to be done correctly. Matching Transmisson speeds and engine speed correctly and bingo, if you allow your rpms to drop before you downshift then slowly let out the clutch you are using more of your clutch. Now there is NOTHING wrong with this, a Clutch is designed to be a wearable item, but if you want to save your clutch dont slip it.
