I've already bought a new disc and flywheel, just in case. Of course I'm the kind of driver that rips off at stoplights if the minivan next to me slightly revs the engine I have 40K miles, but I'm on my 3rd clutch. My stocker went out around 15K and I put in a 6-puck race disc. It grabbed and performed very well (40+ launches at the dragstip, plus hard daily driving), but I couldn't live with it on a daily basis, so I put in a spec Stage 2, which has been great and very streetable except the TOB issue. Both aftermarket clutches have lasted very well through many hard launches. Or maybe I'm just becoming a better driver

53,000 miles on my stocker, a season of auto-x's, and all other kinds of fun spirited driving.

Still holds great.

Just turned 34K.

Ran at the tracks 3 weeks ago with 12 launches between 1.81-1.86 60 ft's. Crappy ES100's.

12.6@110 stock clutch.

Not to freak you out or anything but that is how mine started. I could hear it rattling and then one day I went to shift from 3rd to 4th and the clutch pedal would not go down and it was permanently engaged. I drove without the clutch for about 50 miles because I was in the middle of nowhere Iowa and figured it would take a tow truck four hours to get there. I got to a bigger town and went to the casino. Well they f'd up and got the wrong town and it took me about 8 hours to finally get a tow. On the bright side, I left there a couple of hundreds bucks ahead. Boy was that a trip. In my DSM, I went through three clutches in 10,000 miles including the stocker before the current CM Stage 4, 4-puck. The clutches consisted of a stock one, a CM 2500, and an ACT 2600. Guess you could safely say I'm hard on them.

Yeah, reading that gives me more reason to get it done quickly! I wanted to do it before the big races at MIR this weekend, but I've had no time. Now I'm not going to put it off anymore...
