how long does an average clutch last on our cars?
Does anyone know the average clutch life expectancy on third gens. I know that my previous accord and civic were supposed to go 150-175k, but I don't know on f bodies, b/c my previous 2 were of the 700R4 variation.
I was curious b/c i didn't know whether this would be the original clutch or a replacement.
Thanks for any info, car descr. in sig

A clutch usually lasts me about 3 years. Its not necessary for me to replace it at that time but I like to change them about every three years.

My step brothers civic has 16k on it, and he says the clutch is pretty worn. I havn't driven it though, so I don't know.
Oh, forgot to mention he almost through his 2nd set of tires in 16k miles.

I had about 160k miles on a Ram S/R behind my mid 14-second LG4. It probably still had 30k more left in it, but the engine was being put into the Formula, so I put a fresh one into it, and had the flywheel resurfaced. It had a lot of blue areas on it
