[blrtampa]

(knock on wood) - i wanted to know anybody replace a clutch yet and at what mileage ?

Im at 95k. Seems to be working fine. Hope it doesnt go out soon. Thats probably the only thing I'll someone do or maybe not. I have never taken my TI to any shop since the first inspection when i purchase it @ 5 miles new. This weekend im flushing all the fluids (diff., trans, oil.etc.).

I replaced my clutch due to a bad throw out bearing at about 130,000 miles. It only costs about 300.00 to replace the clutch if you can do it yourself.

I'm at 110 and I need to replace my clutch. I just keep debating if I want to do anything else while I'm at it (LS E30 big diff mostly).

I have a 95 and I replaced mine at 142,000 miles because I got a a flywheel and wanted to save the hassle of installing a new clutch later, but the mechanic that took it out said that disk and pressure plate was in surprisingly good shape.

i replaced the clutch assembly on my 97 at 65k miles (brother learned to drive in it). the new one is still going at 135k, but i feel it might go soon (taught my ex how to drive in it).

if you have acces to a lift and a tranny jack, it's fairly easy to do yourself.


EDIT: i replaced the clutch pre-emptively. it probably could have gone another 12k miles or so, but the friction plate was worn down and it was really the only time i could use the equipment. that and it wasn't frigidly cold outside.
