35k, 69k, 96k, but since then, this clutch is still going (which I find strange).

i haven't changed my driving habit, but the car sees a lot of track time. If you get 45k, you're doing good for this car.

Just changed my clutch at 53k. Per my indie "You got every ounce of life possible out of that clutch..."

I did mine at around 64k and the only reason I did it was because the throw out bearing went, When I pulled the clutch it still had about 40-50% on it compared to the new one.

Replace mine at 75K. It started to feel a bit odd in the week leading up to the point when I couldn't get reverse, and getting into 1st was difficult.

Around 65K miles, also did the IMS fix, RMS....the normal stuff.

To me, that was normal maintenance....the trans needing a rebuild for 2nd gear and diff was more of a pain in the pocket. Make sure you do not have a 2nd gear pop out issue before you get the clutch replaced.

Oh yea....a Porsche mechanic would tell you to replace everything at the same time...seats and all...LOL.
