got a 94 civic with 160,000 on the original clutch, never had a vehicles clutch last this long, so how many miles did your clutch last until you had to replace it?

When its time, I will definitely be replacing with OEM parts on this

Because Hondas don't have any balls to burn one up. Long time honda owner also. My last honda had 260ish when it went.

Still going strong, knock on wood, at 236,972 miles!
Gotta love Honda!





And this clutch has taught two kids. It will still break traction and spin them in first gear and accelerate through 5k rpms through 4th gear, pretty good for a four cylinder.





I remember burning one up in a 73' Pontiac Ventura in less than 36k.





edited for clarification!

'01 Civic, got 186k on it now and I'm hoping for more.  No signs of impending failure that I can see.  My mother in law got 230k and still going before she sold her accord.

If the driver knows how to drive it they last like nothing else I've seen.

all depends on the driver....my Bronco II hit nearly 200k before it was due a clutch.

It depends on the driver and type of driving a lot. I worked at a Honda dealer for 16 years. Most clutches lasted mid to upper 100k some into the 200's but I did replace a few in as little as 15k. Athens Ga. College town most of the ones I replaced that soon were students, first time drivers.

I'm at almost 200K on the original clutch.

The clutch will last a long time. However, if you down-shift to slow the vehicle on a regular basis you'll destroy the input shaft bearing, which seems to be a weak spot.

If you use your brakes and treat the transmission well the input shaft bearing should last about as long as the clutch.

And, yes, I've gotten 200k+ on a clutch, too. Mostly highway miles.

My '99 CRV is still rocking its original clutch.  140K and still going strong.

Mine's a '94 Mazda, but the clutch in it also lasts a long time. I replaced the clutch last year, first time since I bought it 12 years ago. Previous owner never replaced it. So around 210k miles.

220,000+ miles on my wife's 1996 Accord before we replaced it. It still had material left on it and was working, but we had the $$ to fix it then, but we weren't sure we would have when it finally crapped out. My 1996 Civic Del Sol has 229,000 on it, but I don't know if it's the original part or not.

I had a 1985 Honda Prelude that had 330,000 miles on the original clutch.  Might have made it to 500k if the deer had not totaled it.

I had a 1989 Civic hatchback with 330K miles on it when I donated it. Bought it new with 12 miles on it and never had an issue with the clutch. Other than regular maintenance replaced 2 batteries, distributor once, vacuum hose leak, tires and brakes. One of the best mechanical running cars I've owned.

You should know better than to let a deer drive your car. They have no depth perception and terrible judgment crossing lanes.

'95 Civic EX.  210,000 miles.  The clutch material was fine but the throw out bearing was bad.

Funny, you don't strike me as a Civic Del Sol kind of guy.

165k on my ford ranger. Had to replace the throw out bearing.

2005 civic 285,000 miles on original clutch and going strong. Original rear pads still have a ton of life left in them, and just put on the third set of front pads. Only problem I've had with the car was a wheel bearing that went out at about 70,000mi. Has averaged right around 40mpg. Great commuter car.

Did one on my '94 civic at ~170k. It's up to 225k now.

I suggest not surfacing the flywheel if it doesn't obviously need it.
