The clutch in my car was replaced at about 56,000 miles. Quite a change from my last car where they commonly live past 175,000 miles. But I love the car so much it's worth it. Just at a curiosity, Do the Centerforce clutches last any longer than the OEM ones? also, what color are the pressure plates of OEM and Centerforce? Mine has a gold one but I'm not sure which brand the previous owner used. payne #2975
