OK, I give up; I guess if you are pulling a trailer, or maybe a boat with your G, then maybe it should crap out before 50K.

i just got my car back from the mechanic today , i bought jim wolf clutch with presure disk and i kept the oem flywheel, the clutch is a bit stiffer but verry little, but it grabs like crazy , the mechanic told me that the owner b4 me had to beat the crap out of it , now even shifting gears is alot smoother than b4

Well, if thats true congradulations, but the way you obviously treat your car says otherwise. Paying for something should give you a sense of responsibility and respect, not hey how much can I cost someone else this week.

tranny replaced at around 1k under warranty... clutch replaced at about 45k under warranty--the pedal was squeaking so i brought it in and asked if it just needed to be oiled or something, and they replaced it under warranty bc they said there was something wrong with it that wasnt my fault or wear-and-tear

I have 69k (bought it with 60k) on mine and the throw out bearing is singing but the clutch is fine. I think I'm fairly nice to the clutch, my integra has over 120k on the clutch and I've used in regularly to tow a waverunner and a motorcycle...not at the same time. I know I can get more life out of the clutch but since I need to change the friggin bearing Im going to get a new clutch...and probably a lighterweight flywheel.

1- you don't know how to drive a manual; or
2- some part is defective
