whos replaced their clutch?

How many miles did you have before you had to replace your clutch? i have 25000 and its acting up. seems a little premature to me. im not terribly hard on it and have only been to the track once.

Im at 222k is that crazy.my last stick car was like 40k if i was lucky but have found its the way some drive stick.your clutch is like a brake pad every push on pedal wears clutch.my faults were downshifts,i now wait to shift or if i downshift i try to accelerate 1st than use engine as a brake,most just ride clutch pedal out.i also shift without clutch

222,000 miles on a S197 already!!! Is that a record?

thats got to be a record! yea im bad about downshifting. i got on it in second a couple days ago and the clutch just didnt engage in third since then its been slipping. is the clutch install on the s197s pretty easy?

They all are easy.just take your time.with mine i have lt headers ,and it takes more time to pull that vs trans.sorry to hear about yours.is your clutch hard like 03 cobras?

I changed mine at 28,000 to a Fidanza flywheel and a centerforce clutch.

I thought my clutch was stating to so bad. when I actualy did the work I found that it was not bad. It ended up being the differential that was slipping. In the long run im glad I changed the clutch. and now I going with a Detroit TrueTrac differential.
