How long did your clutch last?

Hey guys, my fit isn't the first car i own; but i used to have an integra gsr but i sold it. now i'm starting all over since then; i read about clutch slippage. i don't know but i'm just concern how long will it last.

My car is reaching 4,000 miles and I was wondering how long your first clutch lasted? I don't do any dumb burn-outs, resting on the clutch, i do slip/ride a bit from starting points at 1st gear.

explain your techniques on starting from 1st gear. and

how long did you clutch last? or how long do you think yours will last?

and if you did changed it when? what was the miles on your car..

really depends on how you drive your car... so hard to say. it's like asking
how long did your brake pads last?

i dont expect to change my clutch while i own the car (5yrs or 50k miles,
or 4yrs and 2months to go..and counting).

I have had friends who drive their car pretty rough, have their clutch last 80,000km. My old car is still on the original clutch at 112000km.

It really depends on how you drive. I think your fly wheel life is somewhat related to the life of your clutch. Can anyone confirm?

Your flywheel will practically last forever as long as you don't abuse your car. Overtime it will glaze though, so just get it resurfaced when you put in your new clutch.

I guess my friend abused his car. Ha ha. He had to replace it after 80000km

I got over 180,000 km on a '90 Hyundai Excel clutch once, and that was before Hyundai made really good vehicles like they do now. (The synchronizer on second gear failed at about 175K km though.)

I expect Honda clutches, reasonably well driven, will last at least that long.

Not to bring a thread back from the dead but...

Stock clutch, 49,000 miles, boosted for pushing 8,000 miles, daily driven. Yes, I do take advantage of on-ramps. Clutch still grabs like new.

Which is weird, because right after the turbo it would slip a little bit into 3rd and 4th, but it doesn't any more. The car isn't any slower, but the clutch feels better. Maybe it's the cold weather.
