45K out of the advans, damn. I've owned 2 evos and the first one I had to change the advans at like 12K and the second at like 15K. They must have looked like racing slicks by 45k. Have yet to replace a stock clutch on either car. First one had 90K when I sold it and my IX has 38K on it now. I know now that I said that my clutch is going to go out on me any day now.

Had 38K, roughly 120-130 launches at the drag strip and about 60-80 launches at Autox. It still had a lot of meat on it when we pulled it to upgrade. Was only making about 260-275whp/wtq during that time, though.

Sorry but you still don't get it -- your transmission fluid does not lubricate your clutch. I agree that changing your transmission fluid is fine for your gears / syncros, but it really won't affect clutch life...

ive got 56k on my stock clutch. 03 VIII. sitting at about 300 WHP/WTQ I want to do s1 cams and a IX turbo but im afraid the clutch is going to go right after. Thats a lot of cash to drop at once.

I did just take the car down to NC and back from CT about 1500 miles for the entire trip. Performed with no problems. Even through some pretty nasty traffic trying to get onto the outer banks.

Actually, I do. Maybe I wasn't clear in my first post, but its moot at this point.
