formatzero Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Is there any expected clutch life with manual cars or is it just down to how it,s been driven?_In other words are there any known issues with clutch life? Quote
GMballistic Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 All down to how its been used ^^ This. My Zed was still on its original OEM clutch/flywheel at 96K miles odd when I sold it and it was supercharged. Have heard others still on OEM equipment even past 100K miles but then others changing much, much earlier so as Jetpilot stated is correct. Quote
ZEUS Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Mines on 113k on the original clutch but they have been known to go as early as 40k. Quote
JetSet Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 All down to how its been used Yes. Some people are really hard on their clutches, one of the worst things is to hold it on the clutch when stationary on hills, or in traffic jams, can never understand why people do this. There's also those who haven't mastered changing gear smoothly so the car jolts on every gear change, my ex wife was one of those . Then there's the people who like to slip the clutch on frequent racing starts. As others have said clutch life can be anything from 40k to the life of the car, say 150k.. Pete Quote
formatzero Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Cheers,getting my Zed soon. Quote
Lude Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 There's a known issue with the clutch pipe over heating on track. My clutch pedal was sat on the floor at 150mph on the nurburgring but it cooled down and popped back up. Replacement part being fitted on Friday Quote
Will370z Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 57k done on my original 370 clutch and going strong. All depends how it is driven (barring mechanical issues) Quote
Ekona Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 There's a known issue with the clutch pipe over heating on track. My clutch pedal was sat on the floor at 150mph on the nurburgring but it cooled down and popped back up. Replacement part being fitted on Friday First I've heard of it. Do you not mean the slave or master cylinder? They're know to fail, the slave more than the master, and they can cause the same issue. Quote
Richf Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 The slave cylinders are often over looked come service time , they should be bled every 2 years with fresh fluid just like the brakes Quote
