Flywheel clutch lining

[Parazine]

Clutch linings are very long lasting in my experience (80k miles easily achieved before wear becines and issue), what is you reason to replace it?

I find that the old, (asbestos - shh!) ones tend to "sweat" condensation in cold weather when oily and this promotes clutch slip when cold for the first few miles. It goes away after warming the engine up thoroughly. Mind you, I don't use the car much in winter these days, so it can sit for some weeks in a concrete garage but it's still a good reason to change the linings.

The modern, health-and-safety sanitised linings are very good and grippy but I've had to change the Chummy ones twice in the last five years because the lining has pulled off the rivets, causing drag. Probably due to doing hill starts on a 1 in 4 with a "breathed on" engine and a handful of revs.....
