Have you replaced YOUR CLUTCH???

I am curious how many miles people are generally getting out of their clutches. I know that is a loaded question and depends a lot on how you drive your cars.

But, here is my story: I drive the car fairly hard but am pretty easy on my clutch. The car is a lease and I need to hand it in at 54,000 miles. I am trying to figure out if I am going to have to incure that cost.

Thx...

I would certainly hope a clutch would last more than 54K miles (I'm only at 6k now so i really do not know), but I am interested also since this is one of the few things not covered under warranty

im at 34k mi now and am really, really holding my breath that i can make it to 60k. i try to rev match as much as possible and come off stop at idle.....

hopefully some others can post their experiences... but even then, the way you drive seems to matter more than anything else. im sure its possible to kill the clutch in 10k miles....

It really depends on your driving obviously, but my stock transmission is a distant memory to me. Mine was replaced twice, under warranty so I dont really know exactly what the mileage on my clutch was when my first aftermarket went in. Id guess 40ish k. The clutch was tracked (autox not drag) heavily and it really is in good condition for the abuse I've given it. Conversly, my tilton clutch/flywheel only got to see 10k in my car due to how much it began to become a bother to drive semi-daily. When I removed that, there was as much, if not more wear visible on the friction material vs the ~40k OEM clutch. The tilton was tracked more than the OEM though. If you just daily drive, as long as you know how to drive stick properly, not just shift up the gears, 50k is nothing on this clutch. It really shocked me how durable it is.
