hey bro, is the Clutch Kit new or used?? anywayz, kung Brand New / Stock Replacement ang Clutch Kit, then it should last for 100K miles (or more) specially kung moderate city or freeway driving lang ang gamit. I even see some clutches (yung original ha) from cars who have more than 100K miles.


aite, peace.

yup, i agree.
100,000 miles = 160,934 kms.

actually, i've seen vehicles too with original clutches at around the 200,000 kms mark na hindi pa nasisira.

[Type 100]

In my experience? The whole clutch assembly can last 7-10 years. So that's roughly 75,000-100,000 km.

[speedyfix]

in manila where it's mostly stop and go the max i've seen is around 120k on the original one.

minsan depending on how the person drives pwede around 60-70k sira na.

[redorange]

Depends on the driver. I've had my car for 10 years and still using the original clutch at 160,000+ Km. (knock on wood)

[speedyfix]

good for you! some people kasi ride the clutch a lot kaya mabilis maubos.

[niky]

I've kept some clutches till 100,000 kms... but I wore down the one on the Lynx in just 40,000 kms... but that's lots of jack-rabbit starts, drop-clutch launches and two or three track days.

Nasa driver lang yun... and sa traffic. Even without tracking the Crosswind, our Crosswind's clutch only lasts about 70,000 kms between changes due to the traffic it goes through.

yung akin, nasa 65k pero may squeaking sound na... i think its time for me to change the kit...

[XTO]

normal and conservative way, daang libong kilometro yan - depende sa driver at location, kung purely highway, halos doble kumpara kung sa maynila stop-go gagamitin. at syempre depende sa mekaniko pag pina check na. .. walang biro.

[1D4LV]

my car's odo reading is 110k kms. pero wala pa din akong nararamdamang kakaiba sa clutch.

[Type 100]

Severe engine braking is very hard on the clutch disc's friction lining---I know this from experience. On our old AE101, I used to thrash it and experiment with very hard engine brake procedure. Not only did it shorten my clutch assembly's lifespan, it got me pathetic fuel economy too.

Didn't know how to heel-and-toe back then, too...so that's even worse.

Yung pang Rally (if available) ang maganda i-replace for worn clutches, for enhanced durability.

Dati naririnig ko pa sa mga uncle ko yung Bulldog type.

^^ sir ano po yung rally clutch? due na ko for clutch replacement eh... wondering if theres other choices than the OEM.

edit: civic 2000 lxi tsikot.


thanks

[youngrider]

There are car models that are also used for endurance rally or sa mga racing.

Yung ginagamit nla dito baka available sa casa o sa mga 'performance shop'.
Si sir 'niky' baka alam nya kung saan available. pwede mo rin itanong kay 'miss gaby DLM'.

Sa casa ko nabili sa akin, pero matagal na yun. Pero yang Honda ala naman atang absent sa mga circuits dito sa pinas.

Speedlab carries a few performance clutch assemblies. They sell Exedy and Ogura Clutch brands.

^^ wow ang mahal pala ng performance cltch, i think i have to stick to the OEM na lang... medyo walang budget para sa ganyan.

thanks for the info anyway...

[youngrider]

Dun kila sir 'speedyfix' baka meron din, at least yung mas matibay sa OEM.

[coiter]

same as most ang experience ko. sa dati kong auto around 135k+ ako nagpalit ng clutch. at hindi pa sya ubos nun. precuationary lang ginawa ko kasi medyo tumitigas na yung pressure plate.

anyway, pansin ko rin na mas mabilis maupod ang clutch kung more than 1 person ang gumagamit ng sasakyan. siguro nga dahil sa iba ibang style ng pagdrive kaya mabilis maubos.
