Hydraulics took a crap at 63K so I changed everything out while it was apart and went with an LS6 clutch/flywheel/pressure plate along with updated '01-'02 hydraulics . Wish I could have gone with an LS7 but I was in the middle of moving(great timing) so I didn't have the time to wait and needed to get it fixed right away.
The LS6 combo feels much better than the '00 LS1 clutch so I'm still happy.

picked the car up with 54k on the clock, assuming its the stocker. up to 94k now, and holds up fairly well. i feel it slip after 3-4 consecutive hdumdumdum runs though. other than that, no problems.

Around 93k now on my stocker and still holding up...but I do baby my car so yeah, I've probably only dumped the clutch once the whole time I've owned the car lol. Looking to upgrade to an LS7 clutch soon..

99 WS6. car is at 95k now. pretty sure everything is stock, purchased the car with 38k on it 7 yrs ago. pos still has cags enabled haha.
the car has seen track time and quite a bit of street time. daily drive time. everything really. been through 2 sets of back tires...clutch holds fine. it has been dumped a few times but never even thought of traction. went low 13s @ 110ish with a lid and weld in flowmaster.
the slave or master (not sure which) did cease operation last year due to the fluid being dirty. replaced fluid and everything works fine.

My '91 Camaro RS 305 5sp. has 163,796 miles on her and STILL has the original clutch in it when I ordered it in '90. Still going strong!! Engine hasn't been touched internal either besides regular maintenance. Car has been VERY GOOD to me. All stock and no track time but some street roll racing.

My Vette has 36k miles on it and the clutch works perfectly fine. Unless I try to launch hard, then its a no go, just slippage. Mine is currently being replaced due to building the motor. So the stock clutch's life ends short at mile 36,201. One of those times you have to let a good thing go to waste, because who's going to want a good used stock clutch with 36k on it? Btw, IT'S FREE if someone does want it.

Mine lasted almost that long. I replaced it at 194K miles when it started making a bad grinding noise and wouldn't disengage. Turns out just the pilot bearing was toast. The clutch material and flywheel still had some life left lol.
