Please could you help I would like to know what has been the average life of a Clutch on our cars as they cant make there mind up at our lovely Subaru dealers they seem to think that a clutch should last 15000 miles max at one dealer and 40000 at another so what has been the average on yours before you have had to change it ?

Thanks

Huxley

 

22k

 

43k

Which dealer is telling you this?

My clutch is on it's way out after just 10K....I am hoping it is a warranty fix but yet to call my dealer...

 

40-45k easily ,15k is a joke

 

5 clutches in 2 years!!!
7k replaced warrenty
15k replaced warrenty
20k replaced (charged)
31k replaced (charged
changed car
9k replaced warrenty (clutch judder)
ok for now at 28k

I had a Mini which I did approx 60k in and never had a clutch in it, the gearbox went first It just seems to depend on what sort of driving you do - I do lots of motorway (not fun in the Min, better in the scooby )

 

No.1 - 7,000
No.2 - 8,000
No.3 - 1,500!!

Must be my wifes driving

First 9K
Second about 9.5K, once I get it booked in.
Third Who knows

I had the clutch changed on my MY98 at 37000 miles because of judder, under warranty. There was no sign of clutch slip prior to this. I had the opportunity to inspect the old clutch plate after it was removed and I suspect it would have failed within another 10000 miles.

My previous scoob (MY95) was sold when it was 3 years old with 39000 miles and it still had the original clutch (no slip when sold).

I think that if you behave yourself, a clutch can last 40-50000 miles easily. I'm sure that, in most cases, high revs standing starts are the main cause of premature clutch failure.

Thanks guys i won't name the dealer that said 15k max but general opinion is 20k and under it could be done under warranty !
I would like to get as many as i can for reference purposes so i can then make up my mind on how long they should last under normal driving conditions

My UK00 car has done 33k. Generally very gentle driving (while singing to the stereo ) plus six track days.

The clutch has always juddered a bit, especially cold, but it's now beginning to annoy me. I'm going to ask for a new one under warranty at the next service.

My Jap import 94WRX lasted 108,000km. Replacement AP was £393 fitted!

 

Thanks lads i seem to getting a picture of average milage now but still could do with some more i you please

Thanks very much Huxley

 

Nearly 70,000 miles (110,000 kms or so). On the way out.

 

mine is on its way now, with 77K has anyone got an idea what i should be paying to have it replaced?

 

Had mine replaced with an uprated one at 40.000 miles ... surprised the old one still looked as good as it did.

 

Despite the abuse it got, my orignal clutch lasted over 35,000 miles.
I then changed it for an AP one, which is just starting to show signs of judder at 85,000.

1st clutch changed @36k miles 3 days after i bought it.
This one has 85k miles no problems yet.

1st set off tyres 59.5k miles.
Current set 45k miles with still another 20k miles left thats including track work.

 

Nitro,
you got 59000 miles from one set of tyres??!! Don't they have corners in Australia?

Pete T (who's tyres last 9000 miles a set with no track days )

 

47,000 miles (replaced during engine repairs)

 

ITS THE WAY YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR THAT COUNTS. Ist GEAR BLAST OFFS ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF EARLY CLUTCH REPAIR.
