Clutch lasted 14k miles with moderately rough use. The clutch feel wasn't good even brand new.

Got a factory replacement, and it feels better than the old clutch ever felt.

 

What was the cost for the factory replacement?

My clutch is almost out - 21k miles and it is almost gone!

 

2005 STi-

13,500 miles

Clutch is fine.

 

I have a very aggressive driving style - if you can call it that

 

05 STi - 56K
Everyday driver

I do a lot of driving. A LOT! My clutch seems to be going out slowly but it still works. I do notice in fifth and sixth i get a little slippage when i floor it. Almost like the clutch cant hang with the motor. I drive my car very hard. Dont launch too much but i have a few times. I do notice a "shake" as i am at lower speeds and im assuming it has something to do with the clutch going out. But its a subaru!!!! Take a lickin and keep on tickin! I was told not to change it until it dam near brakes.

05' with 56k... jesus... I have 56k on my 02. You do some serious driving....

 

same act clutch and 3 trannies later....I race twice a week. RS trans.

 

I would have thought that you might have slippage in lower gears, where the torque is greater. If you are at the point where you can see the tach jump but the speedometer doesn't , it sounds like clutch time to me. But, my own experience is that clutches last a long time when not abused. Launches take their toll on everything, and the only place were much can really slip is the the clutch. It seems to me that the 4wd diffs may have just an instant of slip, but not enough to relieve the torgue pressure of dropping the clutch at 4krpm in 1st gear. Others may have better info on this; I will wait for the Wizards of Ows to speak.

 

The tourque is dictated by the engines RPM's not which gear you are in.

 

my lasted up till i think 63 or 64k miles but i have no idea who owned the car before and im sure they drove it to ****... i replaced the transmission a few months later

 

I have a mostly stock '02 and I have 91200 w/ the original clutch

 

I would rather toast my clutch than smash my transmission personally, i slip it a LOT when i launch

 

update.

added 10k more to what i had from the last post. so about 53k miles now and the clutch is still holding fairly well with my vf34 making 255 awhp on gruppe-s dyno before my headers.
