I was told that the clutch assy (and several other parts) was replaced ~10k miles ago when the previous owner replaced a turbo bottom end with a n/a. They blew a piston, tore down the top end far enough to find the damage and stopped working on it. After they stopped on it, a close friend of mine bought it for parts and it sat in his garage for the past few years until I got it. Many of the parts look very low mileage, the turbo, radiator, etc, which makes me believe it was replaced - it looks like they replaced everything you'd expect if they planned to keep the car (obviously they should've researched the correct motor to use...). I have to remove the clutch assy & flywheel from the blown engine anyway so I'll check it before I reuse it.
