base eclipse, clutch problems, help!?!

[WankelTII]

i have a 1.8 1992 eclipse and i have been through 4 clutches in 2 years, its getting ridiculous. Actually its not the disks that are wearing out, its the pressure plates. On the last one, 2 springs were broken and fell out of the pressure plate completely. The first 2 times i had the flywheel resurfaced, but the last time, i inspected it carefully and there was no reason to have it done. The disk actually looked fine, i dont understand. My engine mounts are now very badly worn out because of clutch chatter in just the last few days. This is the 4th one, and it is a centerforce dual friction clutch, not a stock one. It didnt last any longer though. I havent been driving it hard at all, no crazy launches or anything, i dont race people, cuz my car is slow! Every now and then i will hit up some curvey backroads for a little joyride, but i just dont see how i could be going through these things so fast.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

PS i need an airflow meter, if anyone can tell me where to get one cheap or has a good one they want to sell, please let me know.

thanks.

dont slip the clutch at 4k evry time you take off. just kidding. did you install it or did a shop? whoever did it may not have done it right.

Well, a shop did it the first time, and i did it the rest of the times. I really dont get it, i know i installed it correctly. The shop forgot to refill the tranny when they did it, and i drove around with no fluid for a month, but it drove fine, it wasnt bone dry or anything, but it had not been refilled. I checked because i noticed the shifter felt wierd, like there was nothing there to cushion my shifts, it didnt really scratch or anything, it just felt kinda rougher than normal. I have replaced the clutch and refilled the tranny every 5 or 6 months since then (tranny fluid is really clean . Im on #4 this weekend. I am replacing the engine mounts with urithane ones, so if the broken mounts are causing any wierd stress on the tranny then hopefully that will fix it. The car isnt driveable right now, the clutch doesnt respond to the pedal at all, and i have plenty of clutch fluid and the shaft for adjusting pedal is in as far as it will go. Before it became completely undrivable i had to launch from like 2.5 or 3k just to get moving, if i didnt the clutch chatter was sooooo bad that i thought the car was going to fall apart, slipping was not possible, it was all or none. I assume this means pressure plate springs are broken again. It all just snuck up on me in traffic one day, i was driving slow and easy, and at next stoplight, when it was green the clutch engaged way too soon and the car jumped around a bit, and i had to drive stupid the rest of the way home.
