clutch life?

[PowerCrazy]

anybody know what the recommended mileage/time is for a clutch replacement

[EclipseRST]

its hard to tell... depends how much you drive the car, out of that how much do you beat it... is it a stock clutch or aftermarket clutch? basically does it still engauge/disengauge properly? if so you should be fine

if a car is driven normally, it would be no suprise if a clutch starts to go after about 200 000km, but really depends on your driving

im almost positive my car has the origional oem clutch from the factory with 106k on it.. and i bought it 20k ago and since then the stress on it has been above average to say the least.. i think its a case by case basis though.. i mean theres just a lot of variables that would have to be factored in for a estimate like that..

totally agree, i had to change my clutch @ 210 000km on my dsm, but had a mazda from brand new that i drove to 650 000km b4 it got totaled on original clutch. But then i drive the dsm much harder than the mazda.

88,000 miles and it still feels perfect.

On the other hand, I only get ~10-20k miles out of a clutch when I daily drive and race it, and a couple hundred miles if I'm not daily driving it. Just to illustrate that it varies WIDELY based on power levels, clutch type, and use.

Its really depends how the car is driven. My clutch is beat up, might change it but im at 160,000.

i have a 91 with, i am pretty sure, is an oem clutch. i have basic mods and it's slipping in the 1st 2 gears. drove just fine when it was completly stock. so it all depends on your driving habits.
