Aftermarket Clutch Life

Live4Driving · 11-21-2014, 11:46 AM

I understand that it is a wear item. That is why I mentioned that I got ~80,000 miles out of the stock clutch. I am mostly interested in whether there are any that wear at a similar rate to stock. If you got 30k miles from stock and 25k from the aftermarket, that would give me a good idea of what to expect. I just don't want to get an aftermarket clutch that will last 1/10th of the time with the same driving style because the labor and hassle is a large portion of the clutch replacement.

call me crazy, but if longevity is your main concern and you don't have bigger power plans for your car, I'd say it would sort of make sense to just get a new OEM replacement. With an upgraded CSC of course
