Anyone have more than 100,000 miles on their original clutch?
It appears to me that the factory clutches tend to go out somewhere between 80-100k so I was wondering if anyone has beat the statistics and have made their clutch last longer than 100k.
Elantras came out at 50k because I wanted to upgrade while I had the money; it looked good. My genesis (3.8) was swapped at 130k and had a good bit of life left. The pressure plate didn't look so good and the TOB wasn't very smooth. Tibs seem to a bit wild with the v6s; not forgiving to bad drivers or heavy heavy traffic with the dumb spring still in.
I'm still on the original at 145k miles. But, mine shudders and shakes the car a little when letting out the clutch pedal slowly, so I think it'll go sometime in the near future I'm sure. If I let the pedal out fast, it behaves properly.

my parts car had either 165 or 185 on what they claimed was the original clutch. It looked terrible when I pulled the old clutch but they were still driving it so
