Well that sucks. Thing is if you weren’t riding the clutch then hotchkis is off the mark. Having the shims set up incorrectly would result in exactly the same kind of wear as if you were riding the clutch.
With only 1k miles on the clutch you’d have needed to be riding the crap out of it. I mean, all the time. So unless you like to rest your foot on the clutch I’d suspect some kind of clutch adjustment problem. Either the shims set up incorrectly for the throwout, or maybe some kind of issue with the master or slave that was causing the throwout to not return consistently.
