I have no idea whether my clutch is OE stock. But i have 102k, still grabs well. not as grabby as i would want it to be, plus i have a fidanza flywheel waiting, i'm itching to get a new clutch.

When I got my car it had 98,000 miles on it; at around 104,000 it started slipping.. worse and worse to the point where it would slip in 5th gear

The clutch material itself had quite a bit of life on it still but the rivets that held the disc together were shot.. it pretty much fell out when I took the transmission out

Now i've got a SPEC Stage II Kelvar clutch; up to about 147,000 miles now.. luv it :) Super grippy, it'll spin the tires when I downshift to 2nd [dunno if its good or not but it sounds neat]

when i got my old one replaced, the plate had scorch marks all over it. it was alsmost a blueish haze. the disc was ground down almost to the rivets. and charred. the guys also told me the TO bearing fell apart when they took it out.

166K. Ran fine when I bought the car at 166K. Was practicing driving stick (my first stick!) and then killed it in about 30 miles.

:D Sounds like my friend jesse's s13. By the time my bf did his clutch, and they dismounted the bellhousing, all this black powder start falling to the floor. the thing was charred! now he has an exedy oe-grade clutch in there.

125k out the the original clutch. I did notice one thing while getting the flywheel resurfaced, the stock flywheel will last forever! If anyone is thinking about doing a clutch job, I highly recommend a stock oem if you are doing daily driving. My clutch kit's TO bearing makes annoying chatter.

i had 130k on mine when it went. Then the next stock one lasted me about 2k miles. Now I'm on the 3rd clutch, a kevlar. About 500 miles on it right now. Haven't gotten on it but feels fine.

103k... it engages higher than i'd like it to, but I can still chirp the tires on the 1-2 shift without a problem so it's gotta a little life in it still. I just got the oil changed (+ new brake pads + new fan belt + new air filter) yesterday and now my shifts are all smooth and whatnot. The car feels like new again :)
