And today is before tomorrow and after yesterday.
Anyone with some insightful information? I did a few searches and can't seem to figure it out. The car I'm looking at has 58000 km's (~36k miles) on it, stock with headers. Driven by a woman and then a retired guy on weekends.

GT-ER post is as insightful as its gonna get. There's no exact mileage when they need to be replaced. I'm at 97k miles and the same one while my buddies SL55 S/C clutch has been replaced twice.

Haters crazy
Shane should be fine! Must of the time you can just change the bearing so its not a big deal. I on the other hand cracked part of the clutch so had to replace it... You can always find used ones around for $500 ish... brand new its $900ish i think?
I replaced mine at about 50,000kms... brothers cls has 80+ kms and still same clutch... so its hard to say exactly...
God damn rain... promise once its clear will take you for a boot lol

I have 121K(miles, which is 190,000+ km) and my stock clutch is still working just fine. It's made the exact same chirp for the last 60K(much of that with a 180mm pulley), I've never had an issue, and I beat on it every chance I get. It's luck really, as it's a metal-to-metal surface, so unless the bearing goes bye-bye or something catastrophic happens, you shouldn't ever have to replace it. My advice is "replace it when it breaks."

is it the clutch that gives that chirp? every time i slowly accelerate and my window is down i hear a CHIRP and you can feel the car stutter and its fine again. really only happens from a stop as well... if the windows are up, can't hear the chirp just feel the little stutter.
