my stocker lasted about 28K miles with an assload of abuse and a TR224 cam at the time and all bolt on, 395hp on a mustang dyno...started slipping so i put in a spec 3 that lasted only 6K miles, now i have an LS7 clutch. i have like 8K + or - some on it and it still holds fine, but it's coming out this winter due to a huge jump in power for next year

65K miles. Friction was still fat, it was the diaphgram that went out. Three fingers got stuck and wouldn't release.
OZ 700 going in.

i've got 63.3K on my clock, but i think the throwout bearing is shot2shit! 2002 f cars came with the Z06 clutch (as been told) which is rated to 450 ft lbs tq.
so unless you don't know how to drive stick (or beat the **** out of it like i do or went pass the 450 mark, you should be fine for 100K miles in my opinoin.

I bought my car at 51k with a stock clutch ('02) and it was great. I made upwards of 200 track passes on it and it stopped holding on the launch when I got Nittos. It still drove perfect on the street but just couldn't hold a launch at the track. At about 65k miles I took it out and got a Textralia, which I love.

How can you tell if it slips on up-shifts? I have 77K miles and when I shift at WOT into 2nd I get a slip second sound, but I think it might be my tires before the TC kicks in. I put it in 5th at 40mph and punched it, held fine, that is what my friend said to do if I wanted to see if it was ok. It holds fine winding out the gears too. Just worried aobut the split second "schhhkkkk" (more grind than shriek) sound on the 1-2. Its not the tranny. I think it may be tires spinning half a turn before TC gets em'. How would I know if it was clutch related?

Back in the days with steel bumpers, mechanics used to pull up against some thing imovable object, like a telephone pole and let the clutch out in fourth. If the engine didn't die, that meant it was slipping.
Now-a-days, I guess you could try pull the parking brake, assuming yours is working, and try the fourth gear move.
