. actually starting off puts far more stress on the clutch then engine braking unless you are an idiot and try to use second gear at 60 mph to slow down. i have over 80000 miles and engine brake all of the time and so far no problems and still the factory clutch. why would you replace the pressure plate unless you gouged it do you replace the drums and rotors every time you replace the pads and shoes -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i replace the pressure plate due to the springs tending to get a little weak. that can lead to slipping or chatter. since im kinda lazy and hate doing the labor twice i just replace the disc plate throw out bearingand pilot if equipped as part of the clutch job. it just isnt fun to replace the disc and 20000 miles later take it back apart to replace something else. denny fair enough. i guess that it depends on the level of use that shifting you put it through. i tend not to use the clutch while upshifting past first gear. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

the dak sport has a 22 gallon tank. was the 99 sport available with the v6 mine is a 5.2 v8... i bet its the same truck as mine. how many gallons is your tank what engine do you have carl just how loud is a clogged or broken catsometimes i can drive my truck around and its fine other times you car hear something from the cat and its loud. even with the doors shut with the radio on you can hear it. but its not all the time. i can drive for days without a sound then i hear it all the way to work then gone again then back for a little bit then gone. its hard to diagnose or have the dealer replace the cat if its intermittent like that... any ideas 99 dakota sport 5.2 4x4 3.55 gears auto stock size tires. k&n fipk 10.8 mpg with mostly freeways new copper plugs cap rotor o2 sensor air cleaner belt synthetic oil trans service cleaned intake. trey i have a 99 dak sport and have had to have the cat replaced twice. they are notorious for going bad. also it is done by the dealer as part of the emissions warranty which is good up to 80000 miles. so get in there and have them swap it out. by the way my gas mileage now after my last cat swap out about 2 months ago is better then it has ever been. i am getting about 370 miles a tank. er .
