Default How long Stock Clutch last?

My car is a 2000 M6 WS6 with 59,000miles on it and i was wondering how long the stock clutch would last. I dont beat on the car at all maybe a couple runs 1-3 gear, I have 4 year loan lol. thanks. I did the test to have it in 5th gear between 30mph-40mph and floor it, it didnt slip. thanks anyway to tell how much longer though? thanks again.

Depends how you use and abuse it. Keep the fluid fresh, I'm sure my disk is fine however I think my slave is going out. Still grabs great at 65k.

I swapped mine out at 114,000. Still grabbed okay. The last 36,000 miles was with around 385 rwhp on it as well.

I fried mine at around 94k. I had 20k with my current mods. I didn'y beat on it too hard as I knew I would explode it on a hard launch. I also has the ls6 clutch in from the factory.

As long as you keep the fluid fresh and don't do a lot of burnouts, and clutch drops it should last a while.

I am a Magician.

I turned my clutch into little bits of black dust at 58k miles.

One nitrous pull. Mid gear, too. Was pulling, pulling, pulling, zip! Haha

I have 150,600 on my 99. As far as I know its original(I bought the car used). I had to pull the transmission at 140,000 it was grinding between gears. I took pictures of my clutch and posted them(on another forum) wondering if it was original. Nobody replied, so I put the transmission back in after it was overhauled. It still works great!

I have allways heard the 01-02 cars were equipped with the ls6 clutch also. Most people on this board would back that up too.
