How many miles are you getting on your stock clutches?

[quicksilverevo]

I have 29000 and the stock clutch still feels good--although I hate how it engages so high from the floor. I've only launched it a handfull number of times.

[rammsteinmatt]

when it engages so high, its better. that just means a quick dip into the clutch and you can grab another gear :wink:

[kaane]

30,500 miles and it just started slipping, getting it replaced at RRE on Wednesday for a ACT clutch. I never launch the car, suprised it failed so soon

[DocMortal]

29000 no problems, it engaged high stock.. only about 7 launches :)

[The Emperor]

33,970 miles

[Blaze]

Almost 20 and still going strong.

No street racing
No track racing.
No launching.


....no FUN! :(

[turbrodude]

Wow!!! Looks like people with half a brain can make the clutch last more than 20k miles!!! So if you kill the clutch in less, just shut the hell up about it and replace it.
By the way, I have 18k and its fine. I only road race the car... never launch it. I'm looking forward to at least 30k, hoping for 40k or more.

[moogle]

Almost 20 and still going strong.

No street racing
No track racing.
No launching.


....no FUN! :(

booooo!!!

lets see.. 25,200 and runs like a champ.

yah I did #1 a few times...
Haven't done #2, but plenty of rallying
I can't say, but alot and never @ 7k.

[jondukes]

25400 and 5track days,engages so high off floor,puts the power down nicely though

[nine4surfah]

35k on the stock clutch. No slipping occuring but the pedal is pretty high off the floor until the clutch grabs.

[hagakure]

30,000 miles, 5 track days in the past 6 mos....no problems. I never launch the car, but drive it hard on the track. I also believe stongly that it helps immensely to have the clutch adjusted. They do come out of spec. Pete K at works adjusted mine at about 25,000 miles, and it feels like new. I'm aiming for 45,000 on the clutch.


Percy

[Vanilla Sky]

19k here... feels okay :)

[toku-one]

29,000 and also high off the floor
no complaints with it until i drive the eclipse with a stiff clutch that engages like an inch off the floor and then get back in the evo and feel like i dont know how to drive stick for a few miles.

[Skiracer]

10,000 miles here and still feels like new.

[EvolvedVIII]

I already had a cusco twin disk purchased, so I burned up my clutch 500 miles after break-in (~1500 miles).

[BlueDV]

Stock Clutch....Six months with the car.....4,007 as of last night and the clutch is a champ!!! Works perfect.


:shock: (I don't drive it everyday)

Over 26000 and still going strong :D

[Absinthe]

[notravels10]

[hksevo8]

17500 No problems at all. No track days, no hard launces, but I do live in Laguna Niguel which has a lot of really steep hills and am always in Laguna Beach and there are a hell of a lot of really steep hills in that town.

[sidewaysevo]

38000 miles. drive it like it stole it. And launched so many times at 5500 rpm i can't remember. And clutch is still good.

[Beginner]

[kipper215]

[hagakure]

31,000 miles, 5 track days.
No problems, NO launching. No issues with transfer case. Have done all maintenace and fluids with regularity, have had the clutch adjusted. They DO get out of spec.


Percy

[MYFIRSTEVO]

[BUDLoNG]

16,000 on my second clutch.. first one died at 5k

[EvoPwr]

Less than 1,000 and doing fine hehe!!!

[Boosted]

I already had a cusco twin disk purchased, so I burned up my clutch 500 miles after break-in (~1500 miles).

whyyyyyyyy? that just a waste of a clutch you just burned it up because you could? that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard... why wouldnt you just get your money's worth out of the stock clutch?

[tasco]

23k and still going.

[johnny]

12,000 miles no problems still having fun!!! :skid:

[Icewalk]

Very first thing I do when I get my car is exactly what my dad does....
A) Drive around for about 50-60 miles and get feel for the car.
B) Drop the clutch and hit 100+ on highway, even though its probably not the smartest thing to do, he's done it with every car he's owned so far.

[DrMerl]

37,200 miles - Stock Evp, stock clutch, daily driven in So-Cal traffic, race anything that wants to play on commutes and cruises, maybe smelt clutch about 8-10 times, only street driven, rev-match on every downshift, high clutch engagement, it slipped more when it was new than now.

Nice... Its all about the driver/AWD. Ive become a WAY better AWD shifter just in the past 2 weeks/ 1,500 miles since getting my RS. I used to clunk/grind 2nd/3rd a little and 'soooometimes' it still happens. Ive learned to blip/match on launch/gear changes & I STOPPED downshifting. Downshifting is RWD old school imo. Thats what the Brembos are for. 1,500 miles and no more clutch smell on drives and less jerk/rocking from launch. I feel for the Laguna Niguel dude...hella hills there.

Who here isnt gunning for 40k!

[jazznevoluva]

I know this is a very old post, but I'm wondering if anyone around here has beat me out. I have 66K miles on my 04 evo, with 40+ launches at the drag strip....stock clutch STILL going strong!! No slippage. :D

[Unstroked]

I have 19,000 miles on my stock with two track days and no problems. I continue to drive it like I stole it. LOL... I have no complaints and I can see at least 30k to 40k miles in my clutches future.

[240sxmonster]

I got 8,889 so far and going great!! Just adjusted my clutch pedal and now its not so high to engage. O0

[One Evo Pinay]

I got about 36k and still going...

[DTunedEvoX]

I got 52k on my stocker before I replaced it with a ACT HDSS. A couple track days and multiple launches on the street and LACR. What really did me in was the last 10 launches on it with a raised 2-step..

[CRX2EVO]

As far as I know I'm on the original stock clutch at just over 23,000 miles. I've only had the car since about 22,243 and I still think I suck at shifting this crazy car.

[*chris*]

57k before i changed out to an exedy twindisk. still has life left on it too.

[GOOSE_Ej]

29k

NO tracking use
NO Launching

[Evolution8David]

[EvoRacer619]

[evorocks]

Just about 13000 with no problems ;)

[oct7th1987]

i have 32k. i've launch at 5,000 rpm about 20 times or more, and drive spiritedly on weekends. I'm rough with my car.
clutch feels good to me. i have a feeling its gona last me a while.

[EvoStevo]

17k and still feels new.

[supravital]

i have 35k miles and holding strong!

[hallucinasian]

i had my first clutch up to 24k then it went out.. lots and lots of spirited driving..few track days even drag a few times.. then had it changed to a stage two and the bastards that put it on.. put it on backwards.. from the shop that did the dirty work to home noticed sumthing was wrong and towed it to RRE..i only live a mile and a half away from the shop that fu*ked me over.. then had it corrected by RRE but only lasted a few miles after that (about 15-20mi).. from RRE to home then store.. and guess what happened on the way back.. it went out.. no1 knows how pissed i was.. took it out and was messed up good.. then an oem clutch put in and now have about 10 on that sucker and i expect a good 20k to 30k. it was a exedy clutch paid 1k for clutch and flywheel.. and both are now junk after about 20mi. oh wait! theres more.. did i mention that they also put the wrong fluid in my t case and tranny.. guess what happened.. lets just say it took 7k out of MY POCKET to get everything fixed!

[hallucinasian]

oh and for the record coz RRE treated me good.. they did tell me that it wouldnt last long because of damage already done. very helpful. thanks RRE. i tried to save $250 and ended up spending 7k. $7k is how much hate i have for sum1 special out there.. but what goes around comes around..

[hallucinasian]

UGH!!! i think ima sleep..

[evoate671]

33k and i just pulled it out today. been slippin since about 30k, then finally it took a fat dump. when i opened up the inspection hole, pieces of clutch fell out!

[GSX2EVO]

20 K and still feels great!

[diegoalunan]

a little over 10k for me ans still feels awesome.. no slippng at all.. i wish mine would last like guys that had it for 80+k miles

[SDevo]

28k with couple of launches, still feels good.

[evil9mr]

25k .

[EvoPwr]

33K+ just changed it out, started noticing subtle changes, still could have gotten probably another 10K out of it.

[LaminarFlow]

48,000 miles. No problems. Never slipped. Autocrossed many times. Only launched a couple times during the "timed" runs. I can see why the cluch doesn't last long for some with that kind of pull!! Pretty frickin' amazing.. But I've owned stick shifts for 18 years and have never ever had to change a cluch. Just be nice to your car. Start from a slight roll. Learn how to heal and toe to match revs.

[ultraflip]

82k on my 04... have i beat rez yet?

[jjevo1]

52k still going strong

[evorg]

15k just got a clutch at rre with a lightweight flywheel big dif
