Well.. it was fun when it lasted. Struggles to hold in first gear now.

Thank goodness I have a light flywheel and stage 2 clutch sitting in the parts car.

my clutch was still functional when I replaced it over the summer in 2015. Original clutch on a 2001 Miata with ~140k miles on it. I replaced it because of chatter, I learned to drive on the car, and I figured it was about time. I imagine it would have lasted longer if I tried.

My accord was fairly easy to change, assuming you have the chilton manual.

I have the Haynes manual for Civics, CRVs + Integras.

I did not like the Haynes manual, I found a PDF of the Chilton on some forum somewhere, it’s what the Honda techs use.

I just went past 185k on my ‘04 e46 on the OE clutch. And my car sees regular duty on track days(double duty actually, both I and the wife drive it). I keep waiting for the day when it goes, but so far not a peep. If I have the time(and money) I was planning on pro-actively replacing it this summer.
