ive done a search cant find anything, obviously every car is different depending on driving history etc you change a clutch when it goes but can anyone help what sort of kms they usually need replacing?

Super hard to put an estimate on this ..
"how long is a piece of string"
the biggest variable is how it is driven ? not really a quanitifiable variable..
so you cant really quantify the wear on it..
something interesting that i learnt from dangaz .. was that if u come to a complete stop .. and u try to take off in 4th gear ..
if you can take off .. its time to replace the clutch ..
if it stalls .. you still have time to go..
i guess the only thing you can really do is be attentive and monitor when your clutch is slipping and under what conditions..
if you are just looknig for an excuse to change to a aftermarket clutch and flywheel .. =p DO IT!Farewell TYP88R

My previous dc5r had 120 000kms on it and the clutch was fine - probly has 130 000kms or so on it now, maybe 45SET can confirm as he purchased my old dc5.
My current DC5 has 57 000kms on the clock and has been reasonably modded from day one and done many track days and a few runs down the quarter and the clutch i believe is still fine, doesn't slip at all.
Like others said it all comes down to how you drive your car and in addition to this how much power your car is making. I know the exedy clutch in davidd's supercharged dc5 only lasted 30-40 000kmsNA is BEST
