What are some tips for long clutch life?
What are some good tips for clutch longevity? I know not to coast with the clutch pushed in or "ride the clutch." What else should I do to ensure I am getting the most out of my clutch?

dont slip it!!!!!!!!, drive it like a desiel truck, pat the gas once and let it all the way out you get used to it and its gets smoother and dont down shift everywhere. I got 42,000 out of a spec 3, and I did launch the hell out of it at the track 6000 rpm dumps

I agree with Pontiac give it a quick rev and let the clutch all the way out ... I have my clutch completly engaged in less than a car lenghth or before the tires cross into the crosswalk at a normal intersection....I have over 40,000 on my Spec 3 However I downshift everytime I come to a stop match the revs almost like a heel toe down shift and I hold the clutch in at most lights and heavy traffic....And 90% percent of the time I drive my car like I'm mad at it....
