    Or at the dealership. I think that they are only a couple hundred dollar bucks.

    What kind of experience do you have under the hood? The clutch replacement itself is pretty "easy", it's just getting to it that's the problem. In my opinion, it's not really that difficult (skill wise), it's just a bunch of labor (I pull the motor).

    I did my clutch at somewhere between 140-150k on my car. Judging by how hard it was to split the motor and tranny, I can only assume it was the original clutch. I've got 190+ on it now and it's showing no signs of slowing. I wouldn't be expecting to replace one every 50k or so unless you're planning to beat on it daily.

    Clutch life is hard to quantify via miles. Even duty cycles. Figure however long your oem one has lasted is about how long the replacement one will last.
    As far as cost. Figure $600+- on labor at shop rate. You can figure out the parts cost on your own (clutch, throw-out bearing, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and flywheel - resurfaced or new).

    does age itself ever factor in to this? low miles but over 10 years...
