Just wondering what some CW victims have in common as far as driving habits and parts.

Parts:
1. What oil did you use?
2. What oil filters did you use?
3. How many miles in between oil changes did you drive?
4. What clutch did you use?
5. How many clutchs have you gone thru.
6. Did you use a turbo timer, or let your car warm up or cool down for extended periods of time?
7. Did you have harder or filled motor mounts installed?

Driveing habits:
1. What kind of traffic do you usually drive in. (highway, country, city)
2. How often did you launch or burn out?
3. Did you usually feather or dump your clutch when driving hard?
4. Did you road race or frequenty go to the drag strip?
5. Did you use your 2G has a everyday driver or weekend/hobby car?
6. Did you ride the clutch frequenty or leave the car in first in heavy trafic or at lights instead of shifting to neutral.

Please add anything else related to your driving habits or parts.
 
man those are a lot of questions. And i really dont think your going to find anything in common. Crankwalk tends to happen to cars at random. I will answer some of them though.
I got crankwalk at about 100k
used penzoil, with the orange filters that have the grip. Dont know what kind, changed every 3k.
stock clutch, still on 1st
no turbo timer, no new motormounts
drove in city
always put in neutral at stop signs
launch hard not much feathering because i suck at it
car was driven pretty hard and is a daily driver
