Just for fun--manual transmission folks, how long/far have you gone with the same clutch?

I've had my Mini for 13 years, and by some miracle my clutch is still going strong at 140,000mi. This was my first car, and I learned to drive on it (and as you can imagine, I was ROUGH on the clutch, LOL). My mechanic was stunned when I told him it was the factory clutch!



Update 12/12/23: Well folks, I made it almost to 147,000 . As much as the replacement cost SUCKS, I'm happy it lasted this long! And if I'm consistent, the new clutch might just outlast the engine.

 

Maybe for point of reference, I replaced the clutch in my 2012 Clubman at 126k miles. The clutch disc still looked like it had plenty of meat left in it. BUT, the dual mass flywheel no longer had any spring left and the clutch release lever was starting to warp. The clutch itself probably could have gone longer, but the other components were more than ready for replacement.

 

134K on my original clutch here as well. Not my first manual car by a long shot--I had a Saturn that needed a new clutch at about 120K, but I wasn't the exclusive driver and others definitely abused that clutch. I'm actually on the original turbo, too, so kind of prepared for some big repair bills at some point (just not sure when!). Following thread to see how long others have gone!

 

Had my '04 R53 since brand new/rolled off the lot with only 3mi on the clock.
In 2018 @78k mi, while on a cross country 2,800 mi roadtrip, my clutch started to go out halfway home.
It literally completely failed when I made it home backing into my parking spot.
Had it flatbedded to a "reputable" indy BMW/Mini repair garage. Having PAID for a complete OEM clutch kit (disc,bearing, pressure plate etc..), the "mechanic" only replaced the clutch disc and tried charging me for the entire kit.
Needless to say - I left an online review that you wouldn't believe.
Now 2023 @95k mi - It's beginning to feel like I'm in need for a new COMPLETE clutch again.
