How long has your clutch lasted?

[88FestivaLX]

I'm just interested in hearing how long your clutches have lasted. My Festiva just hit 181,000 miles and it still has the original clutch in it. I have noticed that it is chattering a little more now and it engages with the pedal close to all the way out, but it still seems to work fine!

Pretty sure Mine is original and I have around 260k on my Festiva. Only need to push it in like 1/2" for it to engage/disengage.

Pulled the original out of a 220k car when doing a BP swap. Still working fine, but I replaced it anyway because the BP would have torn it to shreds I'm sure. Friction material was getting low, but not too bad. I kept it around as a spare just in case I needed one in a pinch, but it ended up getting oil on it from a leaky container in my garage so I tossed it lol.

Original one lasted 120k miles. Replacement didn't even last a year, it shattered after the BP swap.

when i sold my 88lx last year 450k on original clutch!

My '89 has 115k km and the original clutch which chatters when I don't rev the engine enough before letting it out. It's me, not the clutch. I drive like an old lady.

My aspire has about 170k+/- i changed the speedo so the exact number is unknown, anyway.. something is going on with it, I've got a replacement but the guy I bought it from told me the problem is most likely the transmission synchros. I don't see a point in paying 300$ for a rebuild kit so i'll probably run it till it breaks and find a f or g series replacement in preparation for a motor swap.

88 L with 363k on it. Original clutch that still works like it was brand new. No slip no chatter!

same here

I have a 90 LX that I bought new. Has 382,000 and still works like new. Buy the way, still has original starter, A/C comp. trans., as well as other parts.

^^^ same on mine. Burnt an ex valve about 40k ago and that's the first major thing gone wrong with it since 88. Other than a bout of bad wheel bearings...

122k. Got a brand new flywheel and clutch kit for $120. Putting it in this weekend. There was nothing left of the pressure plate except dust!

[Basement_Modder]

257k on original. Feels mushy but engages about 3/4 of the way up.

241,000 on my 91 GL

Mine's like a baby yet! '91 with 68xxx original miles.... so looks like I can go another 40 years with the original clutch
