I'm coming up on 50 (at 48K now) and still plenty of clutch left, but I'm not running a box or a programmer either.

I like what i here. makes me feel a lot better. in some of my cars imports i would only get like 60,000 to 70,000 on the clutch. I do try to be nice to it the clutch is in or out and i never leave my foot on it when driving. I would love to see 300k but it will take me years to get that kind of miles on it.
thanks for the repleys.

Mine lasted just over 110k, and that was with the last 20k modded. The clutch was still holding very well at that point, but the throwout bearing is what actually gave out first. I put in a South Bend to better hold the power.

My stock clutch and fly wheel came off at 4000 miles... SB clutch installed so I can run more torque.

It's sitting on a shelf in my garage... along with the stock Hydraulics.

No problems with either clutch. The stock DMF was a tad smoother, but a lot of stuff in there to break!

mine crapped out at 3000 miles. of course i had crazzy larry to thank for that. then it went out again about 8000 and then again at 13000. it now has a DD via southbend.
