As a racer the clutch is a regular maintenance item for me, i replace the bell bearings every race weekend and i always make sure that the shoes and springs are in good condition before putting it back in.

Also from a racer side of things, 2 gallons is alot lol, thats probably around the time that i would be deciding that my shoes need to be replaced anyway, even if they still look ok.

But again, all of that is from a racer, and only a racer, so you might want to wait for some more people to post up and see what they have to say lol
