Default OEM Clutch Longevity?

am at approx 99k on my '02... just trying to get an idea how much longer i have left on my first clutch...

what have been the experiences (granted, it is really based on driving habits)? my car is a daily driver, never been tracked and not driven hard...

thanks...

Some people have gotten as little as 50k out of their clutch, and others are still going strong with 120k+ miles on the original clutch. It all depends on driving style.

then it will definitely be gone soon.. S2 clutches usually show a sgn or two and then the next day, your gunning it at 9K RPM just to do 50 MPH

/\ not mine. Been slipping between shifts for like 5 months now. Screams at 9k and holds steady. I was going to wait for it to go completely out before I replaced it, but im about to order a new one here really soon. Might as well get it done.

Yea mine has been starting to slip for the past couple months as well. I've got 74k miles on the car. Only time its really noticeable is if I take her all the way to redline and shift quickly, the clutch will slip a little sometimes.
