I wanted to know how many miles you guys have on your manual transmission clutches. I have a '01 Model with 108,000 on my stock clutch. Also, what is the life expectancy on the clutch if it is well taken care of (not dumped Often, etc.) Thanks!

I have 210 xxx km'h on mine

Unknown on mine. My fathers 2.3 ranger has over 250K on it total, he's driven it for the last 80K of that and hasn't had to touch the clutch, and I even drove it for 8 months when I first started driving, I wasn't nice to it :driving: If you know how to drive a clutch and you aren't off-roading, it should last every bit of 150k or more.

I had my factory clutch changed at ~95k miles. The clutch disk was less than 50% worn, but the tob was noisy, and the fingers were worn. (Too much time at stoplights with my toe on the clutch pedal, I think.) If well cared for, you can get 200k or more out of one. Obviously, you can also get much less...

Its usually some $20 part that makes you drop the trans. Like the pilot bearing, as mine went out around 95,000 miles. I would have been fine just reinstalling the clutch, but I figured since the trans was out... for $200, I shouldnt have to worry about a new one for a long time. Your clutch will probably outlive the cylinders and the bearings.

My clutch had 200000 on it and that's dumping it alot

I'm at ~115k miles on my 00, clutch still grabs fine, but I have to let the clutch out pretty far before it grabs.. getting any kind of launch out of a light is pretty hard.

How much would a clutch job cost? I found a shop here that will charge 450 for labor out the door and I can bring my own parts. Seen clutch kits for ~250-300. So ~750, is that fair?
edit I see kits on ebay for <200

Depends on what you got. For a 4wd that's fair. Border line fair though. If it's a 2wd that's high.

The shop just checked mine with the trans out (long story involving coolant lines and burnt flesh). Said it looked great for 103k miles. I expect to get well over 175k (finger crossed).

My dad's '89 has over 260k, on the same clutch. Amazing really.

Well I just changed mine out this past weekend I had 143k on it....the clutch slave and all other components looked great.......my pilot bearing took a major crap though

I had been having issues and was really thinking it was my slave so i took on the task but when I got the trans dropped and really tore into the thing I ended up vacuuming out the dust that was once a set of needle bearings

I wish i could have got a pic of the clutch it honestly prlly could have gone another 60k but if anyone has dropped the trans and gone through the headache of dealing with the tight clearances in there they'll agree that you might as well replace the whole thing and not worry about it for another 150K.....lol....so that's my story .....a 10 dollar bearing was the pit fall of my clutch system....oh by the way I got a clutch kit from Ford including everything (even the slave) for $257.00 so at that price you really don't have an excuse not to replace it all when it's dropped

my slave was going around 50K so I just swapped out the clutch as well... I have put 50K on it thus far with no problems and having a 4 banger, there's really no need to dump the clutch... you aren't going to go fast anyways lol.

on my old 98 i had bout 145 on it and stock clutch. on my 04 i have 85k and stock clutch, but i have been to the track a lot with the 04, im not seein this clutch lasting too much longer.

I've got 2200000Km on mine. It doesn't like to go into gear when stopped. Could be the slave, needs bleeding, or a trans issue. Certainly still grips well.
It's coming out, though.

on my 94 it went out at 78,000 and i replaced the slave cylinder.
on my 95 looking at 117,000 and still good to go

111K on my clutch, but i had to replace the TOB at 80K.

That depends on the driver and also how often you drive up hill in traffic.
We had an '87 Aerostar 5 speed and the clutch lasted 130k miles.

my dads truck has 180,000 miles on the clutch but its about done for and its 4wd
My 98 had 140,000 and i just decided to replace it when i put my new motor in but clutch wasn't all that bad looking

My old 1993 had 230,000 miles on it when I changed the clutch because of the pilot bearing. The old clutch looked good and would have gone for 50,000 or 60,000 more miles.

132k miles, no problems yet.

272k on my dads 93, 108k on my 96, both work just fine

my truck's clutch has got 89k on it, still works great, idk if its ever been replaced though.

uhh my truck has around 198k on it and i just replaced it about 17k miles ago this is the second one

I had 208K on my 98 when I sold it. It still never slipped.

i have a 98 and i have 143000 on mine and it slips every once and a while but good most of the time
