180,000 miles with original clutch. But it gets little sticky and hard, so I spray penetrating oil from the slave cylinder opening. It gets smooth for a year. (repeating for past 2 years)
I did the delay valve removal when it was new.

I'm pretty sure my clutch is not "slipping", as i'm not sure what that is. It all seems to work correctly, but the pedal feel at 91.5K miles is very light. Two different techs said the clutch was going to need replacing, so I started collecting parts.

Just broke 225k on my original clutch, buzzing all the way (my2000). A mix of highways, back roads, and autox.

135014km and the engine is on its way out of my car to do the clutch. Unknown if original but I suspect it is. Two driver auto x launching really took its toll this summer.

81k miles on a clutch seems kind of low to be honest, unless you track regularly than I can understand. But normal street driving should easily get you double that. 125kmi and still going strong.

I had mine replaced at 220k this May, when the clutch fork snapped off for some reason and couldn't engage the transmission. The funny part is that Billman said I had a lot more life left in the clutch. Were it not for the fork failing, could have possibly cracked 300k. Guess will never know! Got everything replaced with stock, except the ACT Prolite.

Yeah, it's really weird how variable the life of an OEM clutch is. Even when you take into account different driving conditions.
