25k miles still on the stock clutch. Damn Chris, you pust some miles on that sucker. So you put down 322 to the wheels, and I put down 366. Does that make me 450+hp?

 

That's nothing short of amazing that your STOCK clutch holds up to that power. Congratulations!

 

Had the Vishnu turbo back @ 9000k and the xede @about 15k.

 

24,100 still stock clutch. its all about the driver.

 

Over 28.5k with 85% city, 15% hwy. I get a little cold chatter once in a blue moon, but other than that, all is well with the stock clutch. The restrictor came out in the first few thousand miles (huge improvement in feel)... a stainless clutch line went in shortly after (another nice improvement in feel, but not nearly like removing the restrictor). I've since installed all metal bushings inside and out. The clutch still feels great.

 

what's a restrictor?

 

I should have knocked on wood. Now with a passenger in my car the clutch slips a little at full boost in 4th gear. I have about 30,600 on it now.

 

I have over 26k on my car now.. original clutch, JUST replaced the brakes for the first time yesterday (and had 3mm of material still on it).. and got new rims and tires at 21k (but the stock tires still look new..

All I can say is driving style, bad/good habits, experience, abuse, etc all have a huge role in how long these wearing components last.

I have a very hard time believing a clutch can go out in under 10k miles and abuse or poor driving not having something to do with it (the exception being if you track the car but you already know what your getting into if you do that since you can waste a good set of brakes and tires very quickly that way)


Anyone who has told me their clutch only lasted 5k miles (random example) seems to have other problems, either caused by their abuse too.. I rarely find it believable when someone tells me their clutch only lasted 3000 miles and they never abused the car.

 

I have 43,000 miles on the stock clutch

 

Holy$hit

 

5600 miles clutch just started to slip a little.i also go to the track a lot.i have over 40+ lunches with the stock clutch @ around 300whp.the stock clutch was great for me.not mad at all 'cause i knew one day it would go with all of the passes i was doing.i'm shocked it lasted this long.going with an ACT next. hope its lasts a little longer,but that all depends on how i drive.

 

Do most of you with higher mileage on your clutch have the restrictor removed? I am considering doing this since I just can't seem to get the feel for the clutch in this car. For the most part, it is OK, but it just seems really inconsistent in its feel.

I also get the chatter first thing in the morning, but no slipping and I have 8,500 miles 90% city/hills 10% hwy.

 

I'm up to 30800 now, but have to bow down to the 43k...

 

Aproaching 15k miles and clutch is still strong. Advans are slightly worn too. Been Buschur stage 1 since 1k miles.

 

i have 4300 miles on my 03 and have slipped the clutch maybe 4 times and typically reved to about 2k to get moving in first. my question is whether or not my driving style is going to slowly wear down my clutch (btw i have owned the car for about a year maybe)
