How many miles have you got off your stock Fox clutch?

I'm now at 139K on the original clutch. I have replaced the cable in the past but I think it's on it's way out. When pressed it it feels normal but the car wont move untill almost all the way up and what to me seems like to much throttle.

Mine has 137,000 miles on it, and it seems just fine.

However, I don't think that the original owner beat on it much, and I just got it from him a few months ago.

Yea, I dont beat on it, infact I have never spun tires on the car. The car sees 4k shifts and thats about it. I'm the second owner and car still had the air baffle and stock exhuast when I bought it from him so I know he did not abuse it.

Don't know if mine's original or not. I've put almost 80k on the car since I've bought it. Haven't replaced the clutch yet.
