Clutch life in a Manual ?

Post by basho »

I know this is a question that leads to ' It depends on' however please give it a best guess if you don't actualy know from experiance.

The question is--

How may Kms/long will an OE or equivalent clutch be good for in a manual FTO given a normal road useage of 50% highway 50% city driving, not floged hard and no track or competition usage ?

It all comes down to how you drive the car, do you rest your foot on the clutch when driving ?
If so then it won't last as long as it should.

My last car I put over 240'000ks on it and it was still running sweet.
