Cool Post your clutch life!

Hey guys! DOMODOMO

Everyone that has replaced their clutch due to slippage or failure, please state which and at what mileage you got it replaced!

This is my first long-term MT car and I've never had to replace the clutch on my previous cars yet so I am curious to see how the OEM clutch lasts for everyone so I can get a feel as to when to upgrade mine!

I currently have an 05 coupe @ 64K miles.

Thanks guys!

Had mine replaced at 70~K when I had my tranny replaced. Wasn;t slipping or anything, Infiniti just did it to do it I think. And now I'm at 85K so 15....12K of which is boosted on the OEM clutch, and it's still good...for now

I got 87,000 out of mine. I could have gone much longer if I didn't push it for the Raging Bull once a year. I ended up with the Jim Wolf Clutch pack (Kyle at Importpartspro.com) and I love it. It should last the life of the car, I plan on keeping it at least another 5-10 years.

I have 81K my original stock clutch in my 2005 coupe. Bought the car with 21K and beat the living **** out of it all the time including about 100 passes at the drag strip and God knows how many encounters on the 'Mexican Mile'. Still grabs hard, but once in a great while the pedal feels weird. Most likely just hydraulics going, but I'm gonna keep beating it until she cries for mercy.
