Mind to share how long does your clutch last??

Im just curious as my clutch last me a minimum 5 year and a maximum of 10 year which is the age of my car. I get the car 5 year ago from my bro, and till now after travel a distance of around 100k KM in this 5 years, the clutch just finish. ( i know it almost finish as my car now can move by just release the clutch without any oil press.. )

And i asked my bro when is the last time he change clutch, he tell me he dont remember got change clutch before...thats why there is a possible result of 10 year.. so i start to blur....how long does a clutch normally last...?

My 4g13 total distance traveled is around 230k KM now...~

Depends a lot on driving habits, if your clutch lasts long it means you have good driving habits like not using the clutch pedal as a footrest, using your brakes instead of slipping the clutch to hold the car on an incline (balancing), releasing the pedal fully when changing gears etc. basically not doing anything that causes the clutch to slip more than neccessary

A clutch lasting over 100k km is considered normal for 2wd. My friends Putra clutch lasted 200k km and it was OEM from factory too. My current clutch is at 135k km and still ok, which is considered good for a 4WD.

yea my GF iswara clutch changed after 125k km and it is about 13 yo... they did not travel outstation for City drive only normally... so during her years in Terengganu also she did not change it until it was like pretty hard to engage 1st and reverse gear then i ask how long they did not change she say got to change meh, never touch b4... haha

100k is normal for combination of hard and normal city driving with a bit of highway driving.

If purely city driving (keeping rev low and change gear properly), even 200k is possible.

my putra clutch lasted 250k ...

icic....do you know anything about burn clutch??~~ today i go change my clutch set, the mech said the clutch burn until the metal become red red edi~ ask me how drive 1..LOL....

I drive a Subaru and the clutch is still the same OEM from the day it got out of the manufacturing plant in Japan.

my wira use exedy heavy duty from 2005, until now still hv the grip..

Clutch can last so long???

foreman told me can last 2 or 3 years only if kl driving style.

maybe ur foreman' car last up to 3 years. that's why he said like that.

It's depend on your driving style...........

mayb he wan business, pursue me to change clutch gua

my kancil 4 years kong already lol...but not the plate ( still tick ) , but the bearing inside...haiyo...change it rm400 total damage.

haha.. about kancil, i remember my gf kancil's she crack the whole clutch plate after 3 years use it buy new car... when open the gbx, all the clutch hv turn into small2 pieces.. huhu, that's nasty.. i wonder how she drive ler.. even me myself never done that..

my previous trinity clutch. only lasts me 1year. 50k km like that maybe

err.. wht happen? i also hv use it b4.. but after 2 previous owner still got plenty of grip, then after that my friend use it back still ok.. dunno wht happen to that clutch now ler..

too much stress put on it maybe or maybe im just plain unlucky huhu

perodua car most of the time is the plate kong before the clutch no grip.

yup, agree.. so just buy good brand ler.. like exedy, paraut, etc..

my sunny clutch last me 4 years plus and still in good nick but changed it still when I was planning to mod the car.

and people say upshift downshift constantly wear out clutch faster

Normally it will cost how much to replace clutch? I mean item+ labour cost. My friend say his Atos change clutch cost him RM800.

Sorry about this old thread. Was using search function and found this thread

i just change my waja clutch..rm32 for clutch bearing,rm 120 for clutch plate and rm 150 for pressure plate. change altogether kasi senang satu kali jalan.labor rm 130.normal brand exedy.

myvi 1.0 clocked around 95k KM...i changed the clutch bcos mine gone already....maybe bad habit of pressing the clutch a lot,

Mine is auto.
When it change gear from 1 to 2 got the 'clank' sound and feel.

And when changing from gear 1 to 2 it rev till 3 but the feeling after rpm 2 is like neutral. then 3 it change. If wan change earlier need to release the pedal then it will change. then will have the 'clank' sound& feel. Happen in gear 1 to 2. 2 to 3 not noticeable. Others no prob.

Had been asking these ques many times but din get any ans. Hope to get it here.

Is this clutch problem or the GB wanna KO de?
How much does it cost to change the clutch for wira1.6a?

for high tork engine easier to detect, for small tork engine hardly to detect.. especially kancil, that's why the plate gone 1st b4 u can feel the slip..

that 1 i think is gb problem la

clutch h ???
depent on the cluch needed changing
if the clutch plate only 150 can get
if the pressure plate kong plus another 150
bearing 30 buck

Most Clutch wear happen when the clutch engages the shaft, as friction is most there, this also happens when you have the clutch half pressed, balancing the clutch instead having it neutral.

When you use clutch brake the clutch will have alot of friction when engine is revving higher than your wheels.

Traveling long distance may not wear the clutch out faster than city drive, assuming same distance traveled. Unless you do alot of 0-100 which also have high friction.

Clocked 260kkm and nothing happens, still can get 160-170km/h without problem....

Auto gear no need change clutch, even though it has some sort of clutch.

Confirm Auto Gear Box problem, when it upshift or downshift, you feel like for 1 second it's neutral and the rpm burst up then you feel the grip. Happens on certain gear. i don't know the reason but from common sense i would say the mechanism of changing gear had been delayed due to wear & tear, or there's a slip due to gear wearing down?

What car model is yours?

for auto tranny the thing that function as clutch is tork converter.. auto tranny must really take care the ATF, change it frequently n use high grade oil.. n replace the oil filter inside the gbx..

This thread is very informative even it is already old.

my dad's 97' pajero changed clutch after 14 years in 2011. i was driving it since 2010 but not sure about the mileage though. at that time i only care about isi minyak and angin.

i believe my clutch just kaput. I can't engage the stick and the pedal. but when i start the car in 3rd gear, i can get the car move.

You mean your car can't engage 1st and 2nd gear? Sometimes it is just clutch maladjusted only. Unless it slip la.

i can't engage all the gear.. stuck in a highway, then i turn off the engine, engage 3rd gear without pressing the clutch, start the engine and zoom away to service center with only 40km/h at around 15km ride non stop.
Epic and scary ride.

If u can't engage gear, it's the clutch pump or wire.

After u engaged gear, but car like not responding to the throttle, that's clutch disc.

Learn la clutchless shifting, it might useful in these situation.

sounds like your clutch cable or clutch pump is faulty... If worse case scenario, like mine, clutch fork is broken into 2 piece, thus can't engage the throw out bearing..

anyways, what did your service center say?

How to know it's time to change clutch, i drive a manual Myvi, 145,000 KM, 4 years old. I dont know when to change and i dont feel any difference currently. But last time when i service my car, the serviceman told me 100KM it's about time to change, it's quite pricey though at about RM1500. Just wanna seek for every sifu here for advice and also what happen if i dont change??

If no problem.. no need to change. Change only when it starts sliping.

Just remember to change your gearbox oil every 30k km or.. 2 year once.

Thanks Xemoboyx, i read on website about the slipping, but how can we actually know it's slipping? Sorry, i'm new on the clutch changing. It is my first car.

when u step on accelerator, RPM goes up, but your speed doesn't...
