Depending on the way you drive, you can expect to get somewhere between 4 to 7 years out of your clutch. Drivers who ride the clutch can expect the lower end of this, because by keeping the clutch partially disengaged causes faster wear.
Roadside assistant vehicles are quite used to callouts thanks to slipping or worn clutches – clutch failure can damage the flywheel, and that adds to an already serious problem.
