how long does clutches last?

[SilviaSR20DET]

Im figuring out the average total milage most clutches go out at if you drive normally and sometimes hard. im at 76k and its slipping pretty bad. Considering mine is a oem clutch. How much difference is it from stock oem clutch and stage 2 and stage 3 etc. in milage. thank

how long it lasts depends on how good of a driver you and past owners were.

i've heard of cases where the oem clutch lasts the entire life of the car... not with 240sx's. though. obviously if you slip the clutch to downshift, etc... you'd be lucky to get a year or two out of it.

stock oem clutch kit is roughly $100.

'stage' 2, 3, etc. cost depends on the manufacturer. in other words, not all stage 2 clutches are the same... the actual application and cost will vary by brand.

i have an ACT SS in my civic. i got it because of how i like to drive. i ride/slip the clutch all the time. downshifting, rev-matching. its just how i drive. so far the act is much better than any OEM clutch ive driven with. i dont have much power, so i didnt get it in order to hold alot more power. i got it because of how abusive i am with a clutch. i've had it in for probably 2.5 years. i havnt noticed it slipping at all. i cant wait to drive my RB with an RPS 6 puck. that should be interesting!

depends... my OEM one lasted about 115k... im at 140k now with my stage 2 and its still grabs strong even though i clutch kick the shit outta it all the time...

mileage for clutch wear is relative to the environment the clutch has been through. if your clutch is slipping at 76k, then you should replace it regardless if other people's last 200k+ miles. IMO, i would definitely upgrade to a clutch that can take a more abuse than stock.
