Hey this is a question to all you 6mt owners out there. I am getting ready to hit 40k on my 04 6mt. My question is how many of you are still on your OEM stock clutch/flywheel setup and how many miles do you have on it. At what mileage do you think I should start looking to change my stock OEM clutch. Everything seems fine but I just want to get an idea and time frame to do my next mod. Thanks for the info guys.

 

I took out my oem clutch/flywheel at 12k miles to swap in an OS Giken str setup. Both the tech and I took a look at the clutch and flywheel and were suprised to see that there was almost zero wear whatsoever. I'm sure its life undoubtably has to do w/ driving style. I've heard some who have lasted 60k or more on the stock setup--Others who have had to make repairs after only 20k or so. But if you have various mods and drive hard, the service life could be greatly decreased.

 

^ I can agree with the hard driving part. Anyone else?

 

someone in this thread claiming to have 102k on the stock clutch and still going strong...

^wtf! . He must baby that car like there is no tomorrow.

 

my friend's cousin's 6mt is at 83k miles on stock clutch i believe...

 

I'm at 14,000 miles and my clutch is slipping already. I do hit the drag strip a little often and drive it hard. I'm replacing it with a South Bend DXD-F clutch this weekend, we'll see how that works out.

 

i got 26k, still doin good.

 

03.... 55k still holding strong.

i would however like a lighter weight flywheel

 

05 35k doin fine

 

I've got 43k on my '05, and the OEM clutch is just now starting to slip. That's with a season and a half of autocrossing, and 4 road races. Putting JWT parts in next weekend.

 

25k on my stock setup. 3 autocross events, ~60 dyno pulls, daily abuse, and 125 passes down the drag strip, which included 3k rpm clutch drops and power shifting through every gear.

It just started to slip when I had it replaced. At the time it only slipped at the track, and that happened just a couple of times. It only slipped on me on the street once, when I full-throttle shifted from 2nd gear, but accidentally engaged 5th.

 

You are an animal....lol. Not bad though if the clutch takes that much abuse. I haven't beaten mine up too much though. Here and there on the highway but nothing major.

 

35K. So far so good. I expect it to last many many more miles. I drive pretty hard and tow a trailer, but have never had to replace a clutch. My last manual cars: 95 Maxima SE over 100K on stock clutch. 91 300ZX sold w/ 190K stock clutch. 91 Escort GT (yes - a ford (mazda)) sold with 196K on stock clutch. All of these cars were run at the drag strip, autocrossed, and towed motorcycle trailers (the 300zx didn't tow a trailer).

My bikes on the other hand - clutches frequently only last a couple nights at the drag strip or a couple months roadracing.

 

I have 105400 or so miles on my 03 6mt stock clutch. No problems with it to date.
