    clutch - how much milage are you getting?

    im on 65000 kms and still have the factory clutch in my 2006 gti, with no sign of it going any time soon.
    what kind of milage are the rest of you getting from your factory/aftermarket clutches?
    i reckon i must drive it like a grandma

    Golf R OEM clutches seem to be pretty good unless you are launching them all the time with more power. Provided i didnt launch the car my OEM clutch was still find at 250-260awkw. It did however have a hard life. 42,000km
    Now running the clutches i sell, southbend DXD-Stage 3 daily. Should be good for 600HP

    Old clutch (got a bit hot)

    Can you get their stage 2 endurance clutch/flywheel kits?
    I'm expecting mine to expire (especially the DMF) with my next major upgrade...

    I didn't change my clutch until 120k and even then it was preventative because I was getting a tune, the stock one didn't go. I believe Troy is Stage 3 on his stock clutch - basically if you do drive like a grandma, your clutch won't go.
