Anyone with Second OEM clutch going bad?

I know that if I get an EVO and if my clutch needs to be replaced I would probably get another stock clutch because I wouldn't want to void my tranny warranty since I've had a horrible experience with my tranny on my Accord V6. But how long would it be after I got a second OEM clutch that it gives out? in the long run one tranny is like 5000, 5 clutches would be the same thing lol (not that any car should have to change it that many times is ridiculous as it is if you drive it normally).

I know there probably isn't anyone with enough miles to answer this topic but if there is anybody please let me know how your second OEM clutch has been holding up and how many miles so far, and how many miles on new OEM clutch?

DIng Ding!! Dont get OEM clutch, get a aftermarket clutch that not high pressure, like a ACT heavy Duty that looks like a OEM. If they see a 4-6 puck clutch then yes. Also have them install the clutch, only thing warranty wont cover is the part, but they will warranty the service since they installed it.

Won't the installation of an aftermarket clutch effectively void the warranty on the whole drivetrain and not just the clutch regardless of who installs it?

If you get them to cover the 12k mile warranty on the original clutch, does the 2nd clutch also get a 12k mile warranty?
