Clutch Replacement/ Clutch Life
Just wondering... What is the "normal" clutch life for an Impreza 5-speed?
I've been told it's 60 to 70,000 miles (I'm replacing mine at 59,500). Is this normal for Subies? I ask this, because the clutch on my Honda went over 120,000 miles, and over 150,000 on my Toyota. And these are "non-abused" cars, driven conservatively.
Why do Subie clutches wear out so fast?
Thanks for the replies.

I would say that it was believable that clutches wear faster on AWD cars, but I had a Mazda 323GTX (Turbo AWD) that had 140K on the
original clutch. I had to get the clutch replaced on my 97 OBS at 53K miles. I think that Subaru uses poor parts in their clutch/transmission.
At least for the 5MT.
