hey bro, is the Clutch Kit new or used?? anywayz, kung Brand New / Stock Replacement ang Clutch Kit, then it should last for 100K miles (or more) specially kung moderate city or freeway driving lang ang gamit. I even see some clutches (yung original ha) from cars who have more than 100K miles.

aite, peace.

yup, i agree.
100,000 miles = 160,934 kms.

actually, i've seen vehicles too with original clutches at around the 200,000 kms mark na hindi pa nasisira.

In my experience? The whole clutch assembly can last 7-10 years. So that's roughly 75,000-100,000 km.

in manila where it's mostly stop and go the max i've seen is around 120k on the original one.

Performance clutches really are expensive. You can expect to pay anywhere between 17 - 25k for a "Stage I" clutch. One that'll hold maybe 50% more torque (or a bit more) than the stock clutch.

It still won't be indestructible... but it'll last much longer. Kaya lang, even the mildest "performance" clutch will be stiffer at the pedal than a stock clutch. If you're doing this just for longevity on a daily driver... forget it. Sakit ng tuhod lang aabutin mo.

If you have no mods, just drive more gently, don't ride the clutch (drive the car at part-clutch) and practice smooth and quick clutch engagement (don't hold it at part clutch for a long time waiting for first gear to catch up... learn how to engage it quickly but smoothly).
