Hello,
I'm currently looking for a Coupe as a second car and have seen a potentially good one at a decent price. The only concern I have is that it's done 90k on the same clutch. This seems excessive to me (though is a good sign that it's been driven gently). What is the maximum life expectancy on a clutch? It obviously varies on how its been driven, but there must be an absolute ceiling. It's a 97 NA.
Thanks in advance.

That's pretty impressive. Just bought one with 93k that's had a pretty easy life, bodes well.

Iceberg changed mine earlier this year and it was on the original at 80k. It wasn't actually slipping but had become very 'gritty' underfoot and was definately on its way out as I inspected once removed..........

The clutch on my 20VT was knackered at 75K
I bought the car at 70k so have no idea how it was driven before.
It wasn't slipping but juddered badly when the car was hot.

Thrust bearing started knocking on mine at around 60K, when old clutch was removed it looked like new. Extremely annoying, all that work over the bloody bearing when the clutch itself was 100%!!!!
