My stock 91 NA 'vert is in need of a new clutch, but I was wondering how long everyone else's clutches have been lasting. Mine is the original Mazda OEM clutch, and it lasted for 66,500 miles.

Please post how long your clutches have lasted/what brand they are/what model car you have/how aggressively you drive.


thanks,
Kris

The stock mazda clutch on my 88 has made it over 100K, I guess it depends on how abused it is.

darn, I was hoping that mine was wearing out at a reasonable rate.

My stock clutch lasted till 86K on my 91 TII.

The stocker I had lasted 72k, although the car had 67k when I bought it, I did many burn outs :o

the clutch in there was shot when i bought the car (205k), now i'm at 213k and mine still works

dre_2ooo

my stock one had 102k on it before it no longer worked

HeavyFoot86

mine (Im assuming is still stock) is in the process of dying right now. 169k. I guess it cant take my abusive driving (burnouts are cool :bightumb: )

Does anyone know if Ram Clutches do alright?? just saw one for an 86 N/A in my new Summit, $260.

My car has 121k miles, and the clutch still works fine. I assume its original. I have a new ACT one waiting to go in, so Im kinda purposely beating the hell outta this one. Brakestands, doughnuts, 8krpm shifts, launching out of toll booths Its holding up very well though, only has slipped a few times.

wow, mine is only at 66500 miles and it is starting to lose some grip. What gives?

Replaced at 92K. Clutch was 70% worn and the pilot brg exploded.

it depends. a clutch can outlast the engine (even a pist-on engine)
