Default How long does stock clutch last

Wondering how long ur stock clutch lasts or has lasted on ur mustang gt's. Mines has about 45k on it and its about to go. I do downshift alot but wondering if this is normal time to be changing clutch? Input would be greatly appreciated.

It all depends on how you drive. You really dont need to downshift all the time. That puts alot more wear on your clutch. Your brakes may wear a little faster but its easier and cheaper to do brakes vs. a clutch.

clutch SHOULD last 100k or so.... under ideal conditions.

45k is a bit early but if it was in a lot of stop and go and harsh accel or decel... that'll do it....


is it slipping really bad?

I still have the stock clutch.

50k miles and about 300 passes on the track

It doesn't slip at all.

I replaced the clutch in my 97 around 130k or so. That included downshifting and all.
