My clutch never went out it had about 45k miles on it and still looked good. The only reason I changed it was because I blew the tranny and put the LTs on plus a bunch of other crap.

not sure if youve ever seen Mark drive..but at the drag strip hes a freakin animal! launches with no mercy and bangs the gears HARD!! Then changes tires and commutes through stop and go traffic to and from work

Rhett PM me your cell number I can't find it.

Wow, my King Cobra couldn't last through 3 passes on ET Streets....Hard to believe your clutch lasted that long, but it's awesome... [worship]

Clutch life depends on many factors:

how long you ride it out of the hole (which shouldn't be much with MT Streets warmed up)

how long you drive the car mileage-wise

lots of stop-go traffic

I would go with a Spec II when it's time to replace it.

I would waste the money on a spec II, when a Spec III is only $30 more. Pay the cash its worth it.
