V6 Clutch lifespan

Midblues · 11-17-2022, 01:29 PM

I understand how long a clutch will last is very driver dependent. been driving standards all my life what is the average milage on a v6 clutch daily drive with some spirted driving no track driving. I am reading the that these clutches are single disk and average about 45 to 50,000 miles if you are lucky and they are done. Which is shitty but there are very little choices as far as a replacement besides oem.
I had i4 2019 with a 6 speed manual clutch worked and felt fine but I traded it with only 19,000 on it i know its the same clutch as the v6. Looking to order a v6 just cant do a automatic.

Just wondering what kind of milage everyone is getting out of these v6 cars?

Where are you reading this?

The only car I know of that routinely burns up its clutch before 50k miles is the Lamborghini Gallardo, which is why so many turn up for sale with relatively low prices. New clutch install is >$10k.

Just do a google search plenty of complaints that these clutches don't last long and the only options for replacement is act clutch which is said to be even worse. I found a video on a twin disk for v6 but cant find a them anywhere to purchase even there web site doesn't list them. Plenty of options for v8 but those clutches hold up much better.
Just looking what I am getting into before purchase.

I'm at 65,000 miles with my manual V6. I've done 12 track days and 9 autocrosses, I drive canyons every week at high RPMs, and I also get to enjoy a lot of stop-and-go traffic of Southern California. The clutch feels good, I see no change in its performance.

I barely launch the car from the dig, however.

I have 41 k miles on mine. I had a focus st , it had a good clutch , sold to nephew.Has over100k miles, clutch still good.The Camaro clutch is not nearly as good but it is still working. Rockauto lists about 5 clutches for the 4&6 cyl.

Mine would've lasted longer I supposed but I shattered it at the track. Been using a Spec Stage 1 HD Organic for 70k and its still holds great. Highly recommend.

I have driven mine daily since 2016 and have over 82k on the stock clutch. I bang gears all the time. No issues with the clutch at all.

SPEC and Clutch Masters make really nice clutch kits with lighter flywheels for the V6/2.0T transmission.

I've got 173,000 miles on the original clutch and never had a problem. Dailey driver, every other day I run hard through the gears always hooks up.

Doug kj6aco is it a six cylinder, I know the v8 are dual sided and last awhile but six and 4 cylinder are single disk clutch set up.
