I spent 20k of my car stock, I'm at 50k miles now and just ordered a Mcleod RST clutch and supporting elements. Track time + supercharger killed my clutch's life

My '06 clutch has 105K and still going strong. Then again, I probably drive a little more conservatively than you young Turks.

Didn't "wasvette" put over 200,000 miles on his factory clutch?

Throwout bearing in mine is making some lovely noise when it's closer to freezing now til it gets some heat from use; @75k. Clutch is still great, and of course still works fine, but that bearing is on the way out..so the clutch is going to be pulled as well.

200K all original when I traded in the '05 V6. Lots of highway of course.

I took mine down the strip once during this last summer. I remember it was hot out and I could smell my clutch for quite a while after that run it got so hot. I hope I didn't do anything too bad to it. Seems fine anyway.

When my throw out bearing went out, there was a 2 inch dead spot at the top of the clutch pedal and I could barely put my shifter into any gear. I had to jam the shifter into 1st, which did not feel good at all. I thought I was going to ruin the transmission driving it to the shop, which was only 1.5 miles down the street. Other than that, the clutch ran good and felt strong. LOL
