hey everyone,

i talked to my mechanic, said that clutches last for around 80k miles, and since i am swapping my transmission he said to get a new clutch. partially because the transmission swap will be free and that my clutch has 61k on it already. what do you guys think?

thanx -Nick

someone once told me clutches are supposed to last as long as you have your car. but thats with normal driving and being very nice to the clutch. i doubt its true, but it all depends on how you drive it, if you like high rev clutch dumps then yea it will get worn pretty quick, but they arent that expensive, i got an oem style one off of ebay brand new with throw out bearing for 115 and its from exeddy.
