Depends on what you're using it for. Mine lasted ~30,000 miles. But we went through two differentials in that time period if that gives you any indication of use...

I'm sure, like any clutch it can last 100,000 miles. We were worn down to the screws.
how often do you have to change differentials? i had a 6-puck clutch disc and act pressure plate installed and had to replace the flange bolts near the propeller shaft and diff. im worried about my diff dying since its low on diff fluid life/level

Got my car back today.

Two questions:
1.) Can someone describe clutch chatter - is it quite loud? The reason I ask, is when slowing down theirs a strange vibration type sound - this wasn't there before.
2.) Should there be a slight burning smell initially?

Thanks.

Thanks - how long should I expect the burning smell to last?
