I am also interested as my mechanic has told me that that is an indication that I will be needing a new clutch soon. I have an 05 with 43,000 Miles on it and I never dump the clutch and am very careful not to slip it. I had a honda accord I purchase in 02 with 60,000 miles on it and sold it with 217,000 miles on it and never replaced the clutch. It was a 5 speed manual. I find it hard to believe that I am in need of a new clutch as the Elise is much lighter that the Celica that it comes from and I can't see a toyota celica needing a new clutch so soon.
