Huh. Wow. The clutch doesn't have many miles on it.

Could an oil contaminated clutch disc eventually negatively affect the
pressure plate?

The engine has a few more HP than stock. (115 HP if I recall). My last
clutch on this engine was hardly worn at all and had no issues other
than a minor shudder at times. It was replaced as a matter of course
when the shop installed the rebuilt tranny.

Thanks.
