Like the title says, does the VSA kicking in increase clutch wear?

if the clutch is fully released- foot off pedal, the traction system can only control brakes and throttle
But you are losing time if trying to get a ~jumped start~ and thats causing the vsa from wheel spin
and its hard on the cv joints and puts wear on the brakes

I was just thinking that same thing. The stress would more than likely be put on your brakes and CV joints, if anything. A few days ago in the snow, the VSA was fighting me in my driveway (until I turned it off) and since both wheels lost traction, it was cutting into the engine causing me to stall while I was slipping the clutch. Even in that case, I can't see it damaging your clutch.

Nope. Has no affect on your clutch.

if you are slipping the clutch at the same time= wear
btw: clutch replacement complete= $2800

its costs that much to replace a damn clucth? you got to be kidding me.... thats like buying some nice rims right there

SouthernBoy

Don't worry. You should be getting at the minimum at least 100,000 miles from your clutch and in reality, more like 200,000+... as long as you operate things correctly.
