Did a quick search but couldn't find out if anyone has replaced the clutch yet due to normal use.

I am at 31,000 and wondering if I am getting close.

 

I have been driving manual transmission cars for the last 50+ years and have never had to replace a clutch. On the other hand, two of our "mommy" cars have had automatic transmission failures at under 60k miles. The major watchwords are "breaks are cheap, clutches are not". A brake job is a couple of hundred, and a clutch job is $1,000 or more Respect the machinery, and it will respect you.

I fully expect the clutch to outlive the car. Car is lightly used at around 3,000 annually.

I would start saving up for a new clutch if I where you, I only expect to get 50,000 miles out of my clutch. The car has a good deal of power, it's not a 100 hp Honda Civic, if it was then yes the clutch could go 100,000 miles before replacement.

 

I'm pretty easy on it, matching revs and not dragging it, I just remember hearing that clutches usually go at 30-50K miles.

 

It really depends on how you drive it, I had a '94 Honda Accord with over 100L miles and it was a non-hydraulic clutch and it only needed adjustments done. I think with hydraulic clutches the only way to know if you need a new one is if it's grinding when trying to put in in gear and/or releasing the clutch.

My clutch felt odd at first so I took it to the Chrysler dealer and he told me unless it's grinding then it's probably fine.

Also, clutch replacements will be far cheaper than replacing the whole tranny on the automatics.
