This isn't the issue I'm facing. I already did that a few years back and left the clutch off. Now I'm in the process of assembling everything to go back in the car. BUT its still going to be sitting for the better part of a year while the whole thing goes back together.

Anyhow, I was more curious if it was a common issue. I'm well aware of what brake pads and rotors do - my wife's bitching about it all the time on her car !
