clutch life

Just wondering how many miles you guys out of your clutch on your 6 speeds.....

Ive have 180K miles on my original clutch and I am getting a very slight grinding sometimes when shifting into 2nd and 3rd so im thinking its about time to change the clutch..... does that sound about normal timing in one of these to change? thanks

Grinding might be just pushing bearing, but once you open the clutch -replacing everything is very recommended.
Clutches are like brakes. Some will make over 100,000k on them, some have to replace every 20k.

X2 on that. mostly depends on hows its driven, they type of material, and your hp. I could make it 100k on a clutch if I really wanted to. 2 clutches in 15k, but with understandable reasons lol

Mine started to slip around 212,000. I used to get a grind shifting while going over bumps, but new hydraulics seem to have fixed that.
