My 96 GT is about to turn 155k and I have not had to replace the original clutch. I drive the car pretty gently - but still, this seems too good to be true. How about you guys - what kind of miles do you get out of your stock clutch?

About the clutch slipping, mine is doing it right now, you just push it into gear and when you let out of the clutch and it is fully engaged, and you aren't going anywhere while your RPM's are going up then there is a problem. The clutch is made from a friction material that is similar to that found on brake pads and when that material is worn from its contact wiht the flywheel, it will start to slip, like when you loose brake power when the pads get worn, same concept all physics, just so ya know
