How Long does your clutch last?!?!
Average life of your latest clutch that needed to be replaced. Simple question with a simple answer.
between 100 miles and 150,000 miles.
stupid question, stupid answer.
it all depends on driving habits, application, torque level, etc.
Who knows?
lots of factors involved. for a oem clutch my average i see is about 100k aftermarket 1s are a lot shorter. i had a car that had 150k on the original clutch. lots of traveling across country. its just 1 more factor in how long its going to last.
oo wait this isnt a tech question. so it should be in the car talk or something.
my personal car i dont know how many miles for sure but i think around 50k on comp clutch stage 3 or 4. that was beating the piss out of it daily.
I have only changed clutch one time...not because it was bad but to get rid of the rattling noise it was making.
my '03 Accord has 140k on the OEM clutch, no slippage yet. My STi clutch let go around 65k. I track the sti, not the accord. The current clutch in the STi (competition stage 4 six puck sprung) has about 12k on it, but will be replaced as the new engine goes in with a twin disc. It didn't slip, but it won't hold up to the new setup. Good job with including a poll now, it makes things much easier to get an accurate response.

btw...i still have your twin. come get this bitch already.
reps to you as well cause we voted the same LOL
lol back at ya
my stock ls2 clutch started slipping at just over 20k on the clock with a little extra hp. the ls7 clutch i'm running now has lasted 40k of me beating the hell out of it and is JUST NOW starting to slip a little. who knows what the next one will last...
Grandmothers civic has 280K on the clock with the stock clutch...

Ditto what everybody else said. Maybe a simple question, but far too many factors to answer it.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
My 87 F150 just rolled over 495,000 on the OEM clutch... started slipping around 485,000.
Had to put one in my Toyota after 175,000 miles, I assume it was the OEM clutch, it had been in there since I bought it with 104,000.

I've only put 20,000 miles on a car I owned for three years, so no idea about the clutch on any of the cars I've had. The clutch with my stock motor was replaced in 98 at aout 100k they said and I never had a problem with it at 192k when I went b series.
Bozzio for president.
200,000 miles on my clutch, just a little slippage, but overall it's still no problems.
yeah i definitly wouldnt be able to tell ya the answer for my car
The clutch in my dad's Volkswagen Golf was shot just short of 50,000 miles which seemed strange, but the clutch in my mom's '88 Accord Coupe lasted for the 180,000 miles that we had it, and my dad's BMW 325 had a clutch which lasted for over 225,000 miles.
lolol, sooooo many factors. There is no simple answer. That's like asking how long tires last. From size and weight of vehicle to mods to driving style are all factors for both.
For harder than normal driving conditions an upgraded after-market clutch is far better.
don't worry, i'm trying to get away so i can spend a few minutes up there to poke around lol. its not exactly chump change either, even though it is a SMOKIN' deal!
Who knows?
Well, I've had them last for +200k miles and I've had some need replacing after just one .25 mile run. If that helps you any.
Make them for a 24v BMW engine (m50/s50 variants) and they would be big seller.
my clutch does not slip one bit but then again i have about 82hp and 92 ft lbs of torque..
i got 200k plus on mine. still no slippage

I downshift alot instead of braking, I suppose it wears down my clutch faster but my brakes last forever
clutch kick is a hell of a drug
my 95 accord ex (owned since 96 @ 24k miles) had an oem clutch that lasted almost 200k...
I will never know how long it would have lasted because I no longer have the f in it. I drove it hard to responsibly, and it behaved like a oem clutch should in a car that has bolt-on mods (header, intake, exhaust). it didn't grab in a snap, but didn't slip when tested.
thats a great idea because brakes are so much harder and more expensive to change than a clutch.
54k on OEM s2k clutch, 0 slippage. i beat on it every now and then, but it is my dd.
