Keep your stock clutch as long as you have your stock gearbox. It is better for the clutch to slip than it is to put added stress on the gears.

liigod, i have a 2000 rs and i believe it has the stock clutch. i have 38000 on it and it still holds as good it probably did when the car was new. it can handle clutch dropping starts(on gravel, i dont do that stuff on asphalt/pavement/whatever) just fine. clutch life depends alot on the way you drive. 90 percent of the people that have manual transmissions that ive ridden with dont really know how to drive their car that great and slip the clutch like no other. some other people like to do no-lift shifts and go through a clutch and tires in 9 months on a brand new car.im not saying im the greatest driver because im not, i just wanted to throw in my 2 cents

its easy to tell if your clutch is up to it.
when you hit boost does it slip?

Dont dump the clutch, ever.
always use a sprung clutch on a factory box, and just be nice :-)
