What klm have you replaced your clutch

[plAythiNG]

Has anyone here with a DC5 or EP3 had to replace a clutch out of necessity? Not just a performance upgrade but a failure of the original clutch. I know Didz has. 135,000 on my original clutch and still going strong though.

This. I started the thread as I wanted to basically know what age/klm people are changing their clutches at. Seem's like i wont change my clutch for a couple years now.

I replaced mine out of necessity and the car only had ~90,000kms on it at the time as well. I noticed it was on its way out when I was looking to buy the car and had only owned the car for less then 5000kms before the slipping became unbearable

I'm guessing it's from the previous owner riding the clutch excessively? I know of other owners who give their clutches a massive beating and still haven't replaced them as early as I had to.

living on a hill might lead to premature clutch wear?
