How long did your stock clutch last? - Honda Prelude Forum

LudemanDan · 07-05-2003, 12:13 PM

I've got more than 130,000 on mine. I'm wondering if I should replace it before it fails and leaves me stranded somewhere. What are you guys getting out of yours?

i'm at 158K and its still running pretty good... not as tight as my bro's Clutch though. His lude is at 135 something....

i'll just replace it once it doesn't catch the gears right....

i don't think it'll just "go" on you... you would probably notice it slipping for a whlie beforehand. the life of your clutch all depends on how you drive so it's going to be hard to judge your clutch life by how long other peoples have lasted.

106k here and still going on it

Mine might have been replaced by my car's previous owner at 96k, but i'm not sure. I had to replace it at 133k due to a busted spring. So it either had 133k miles or 37k

Mine got replaced at about 125k with an ACT Street Strip because it just would not grip at all.

I'm at 129k on mine. Don't replace it yet. It will start slipping before it goes and it shouldn't strand you. I had over 225k on an old Civic of mine (I sold it and it still had the original clutch in it).

mine has actually been slipping for the last 3k miles, so you get a pretty good warning. Im replacing it real soon thoguh because its getting to be no fun driving my car

176,000 and oh so close to as perfect as the day I bought it!

well ive had nothing but stock clutches, i replaced mine in my jdm h22 with an exedy stock replacement, i find i can launch better on it, i also beat on it when im at the track, still grabs very very well, over a year on it..also i found it to be plenty strong enough...holding everything ive thrown at it so far

How does it feel for street driving? Much different?

My lude has the factory clutch, and she's at about 121k right now. I could probably drive to 150k, but I don't want to. Here in a couple months, when i wanna get nitrous, I'll replace it.
