DC2R OEM Clutch (how long did yours last?)

[00dc2]

I was hoping this thread could capture how long a OEM DC2R clutch lasts and what happens when it "goes" (ie did it do any damage)..

so please post your experiences

(I am at 145,000km and considering the idea that i replace it at 150k before it goes and does any damage)

[zeth_an]

Mine lasted roughly 75000ks'

Still going strong at 120,000km then I sold the car.

[Talos]

114,000 and still going, pressure is good

[freakygeek]

130,000 when I replaced the clutch & fly ... the center springs were about to break out of the clutch plate. Not sure how much damage this might cause, but I can't imagine it would have been pretty.

Interestingly though, The friction material would have lasted a lot longer...

[na-tastic]

i think the longevity would aslong depend on how one drives the car.

i think under normal drving conditoins should last 150 000 kms easy.

120,000kms on the stock one here, including 4 or 5 track days..
i'm thinking same as u though mic..i'd love to get a new exedy hypersingle or orc309d kit..anyone care to donate?

[TOU93]

100,00ish, its still good but slips when it gets quite warm

[DC2R]

I changed mine in my DC2R at 45 or 47,000kms.. Mines sitting on about 86,500kms now with the 2nd clutch, no dramas..

[Zilli]

^ same here... mine had a mm or two left when i changed, but i was putting in a light FW at the same time so i put in a HD clutch

[SpecJ]

I dont know the depth of my remaining clutch as i've never taken it off, however at 115,000 kms, i can feel no signs of slipping at all. the pressure is still there, and feels very firm and stable.

135,000KMS + 5 trackdays = still going!

I rev-matched every downshift and used minimal clutch so I think that's why it's still going strong...

[TAFKA TMB]

130,000km – including about 35 tracks days, 2 dyno days and 5-6 years of daily driving through city traffic. Tough little buggers aren’t they?

Some of my gearbox syncros were on their last legs (crunchy, grindy gear changes) so at 130,00km I got a new clutch, syncro rings and flywheel fitted. Should be good for a few more years.

[00dc2]

wow 35 track days.. how well made are these cars.. far out!

[VTECMACHINE]

I changed my first OEM one at 75,000km's.

Then changed my next one, as the stupid new Toda flywheel was not machined flat.

Now on my 3rd one. LOL.
