The clutch lifespan depends on the level of use, wear and tear. No clutch lasts forever, a typical replacement happens between 60,000-100,000 miles. There are a several scenarios that can cause your clutch to wear more quickly.

If you’re a city driver that loves providing connection between the transmission and you – and don’t want to give up your manual clutch - stop-and-go city traffic increases wear and tear on your clutch versus the open highway, therefore, it’s more likely your clutch will wear out faster. 

Towing, off-roading and performance driving are also reasons you might need to replace your clutch sooner than you hoped for.

When it comes to replacing your clutch, it’s important to avoid a common mistake by not replacing the flywheel and hydraulics at the same time. Pairing new parts with inferior release systems or a non-matching flywheel could lead to unnecessary and costly comebacks.
