average life of an exedy clutch
It seems as is my evo clutch may b done again, the clutch seems to b slipping in 1st-4th gear, I call ams yesterday n thats what they seem to think as well, I just had them replace the stock one after 56000 mi 2.5 yrs ago with an exedy stage 2 they told the average life in one of these is about 2 yrs but I always thought that was if u take ur car to the track a lot or abuse the clutch too much, ever since they replace it I have never taken my car to the track one single time, and most of the miles I have put on it ever since r highway miles, could it b the clutch so soon again? also should I go again with a exedy stage 2 or diff one any sugg? my mods r pretty mild bolt on ones, borla exhaust, hks racing suction intake, gfb blow off valve, megan header, ams manual boost controller set at 20 psi, n apexi turbo timer, ams front mount, stock turbo,cams etc. Could the fact that I have never had my car tuned other than a base flash from ams have anything with the clutch being gone so soon? any ideas out there? tnx a lot.

Organic clutches last the longest as long as you don't beat them.
Cerametallic clutches have significantly less life even when babied.
Finding a happy medium is difficult
*My exedy twin lasted 30k hard miles, which was 3 yrs for me* Rebuilding however resulted in everything new but the flywheel and pressure plate...
My recommendation for you would be an ACT Organic clutch, as long as you plan on keeping mods the samefor the life of the clutch(should be alot more than the exedy).
