I plan to buy, and learn to drive a car with a manual transmission, but I'm a bit worried about the cost to replace the clutch over and over. From what I know, I'm assuming when you, "burn out the clutch," your in fact burning out the clutch disks. So about how much would it cost to replace the disks, as opposed to replacing the entire clutch?
Actually there are four parts to a clutch assembly: Flywheel, clutch friction disc, Pressure plate, throwout bearing and clutch fork.
Depending upon the severity of a "burned out clutch disc" there usually are two other major problems. When the disc slips and wears out excessively excess heat is transferred to the flywheel and particularly the pressure plate. The pressure plate has a series of coil springs or what's called a diaphragm spring set-up. If a clutch is subjected to too much slipping the pressure plate heats distorting the face and taking the tension out of the clutch diaphragm or springs.
If you change the clutch disk before slippage happens that's all you'll need to do. Depending what type of car you plan to buy clutches will last 50,000 miles with no problem. If you hot rod a clutch by side stepping the clutch petal for fast starts you'll be buying entire drive train parts.
