Question How long do clutches last?

Think I was having some slip this evening. I've got 66k on my 02 WRX with mostly motorway miles. Does wet weather cause this to happen at all?

Anyway, being on a budget and all that, wondered where's best to go for a new one?

Wet weather will have no effect on the clutch.
If you are very handy with DIY on cars the job is straightforeward but hard work.
Buy Japanese Performance Car magazine and you will find loads of people to do this 'normal' job advertising.
You may wish to upgrade the clutch to an AP Organic.

Wet weather does have an affect on your clutch as you tend to pull away quicker to leave all the boyracers wheelspinning helplessly at the lights
