60k miles , 2.5 years on a frequently tracked car and still going strong although I was told that I probably have ~20% of disc material left. Might be due to the burnouts hehe... probably will change that out for a stock clutch at 70-80k miles

 

first thing Im doing when I recoop from my s2k purchase is buy the tools and get that damned CDV out!

Had an integra go 140k miles before the clutch went out.

 

People that slow the vehicle by downshifting and dragging an idle engine up to road speed are wearing their clutch and doing it wrong.

People that slow the vehicle by 'engine braking,; that is, by downshifting and properly rev-matching, are putting minimal wear on their clutch and doing it right.

I've only got 15k miles on my S2000, but I've got almost 202k miles on by Civic with the original clutch. I've rev-match-downshifted thousands and thousands of times. I routinely engine brake. While the clutch doesn't necessarily feel new (and it shouldn't after 202k miles), it's not bad and not yet dead.

 

Longevity is much shorter if you got one of the early disks that rattle and buzz like a Yugo after about 35k miles. Yeah, I know that TSB-054 is just about a noise... but the car sounded worse than anything GM slapped together in their darkest hours. Mine was 5 years old, and had about 35k miles on it when I could stand the questions "What's wrong with your car?" no longer.

 

erm... i don't think u should be slowing the car down by engine braking. Braking should be done by the brakes. Engine braking might be a last resort when u lose your brakes in an endurance race.

i think i know what u mean about dragging the idle engine speed up to road speed just that phrasing might have been a bit off.

 

still using the original clutch and I got 95k miles; not as firm as it used to be, but its still holding up strong.

I drive spirited from time to time. I rev match a lot, engine brake, but no clutch dumps.

 

I have 78,000 on my clutch and it's fine. So far, so good.
cruise with attitude

 

My my03 siverstone has 96000 on the clock and still has the original clutch ! It has never slipped on me at all and ive done a few 8000 rpm clutch dumps. The car is actually a very well built vehicle and i love every bit of it however i have heard of alot of people on here having to have early clutch replacements

 

Everything was fine at 60k until my 400lb friend managed to fit into the passenger seat.

"See, I fit! Lets go for a ride."

=|

a week later im changing the clutch

 

110k miles here and still going strong,

i rev-match downshift constantly to slow down a bit, but my rule is 30mph or less, then i just use the brakes.
