Dick, I would contend that logic would set in long before frustration. I
would happily fork over an extra $100 to avoid having to pull the clutch
again. Most Sunday drivers will also see this logic when faced with a $800
bill from their trusted mechanic to pull and revamp the clutch.
I've forgotten which Triumphisti said this (Dick?), but the path to Triumph
Nirvana is to fix things when broken or are about to break. If the part
breaks prematurely, re-engineer it!
