How long will it last

[jay3704]

I had a new clutch fitted Feb 2011 at 77312 miles and now at 101766 miles its starting to slip
The clutch I had fitted was an original from the main stealers complete kit
How many miles should I of expected out of it surely more than I got and is there any other decent clutches out there that will last

could be slave leaking fluid on it

New slave was fitted do you think it could of gone

My clutch went at 40,000 miles (110ps Connect T200)
I have never had a clutch fail in a car before, for instance after 120,000 miles in my Kangoo Van the clutch was still OK.

I had a new one fitted plus slave cylinder but the mileage is only 54,000 so it's still OK.
What engine do you have? I read somewhere that the clutch struggles to cope with the 110ps if it's been remapped (mine was for a while)
And also I think there is a stronger aftermarket clutch available.

I got the 75 engine been mapped but I thought the clutch would of lasted longer but I did carry a lot of weight and towed a camper van last year

What's the heaver duty clutch to get do you know

[lightning]

I don't know (as I went with a standard replacement clutch in the end) but somebody on here should be able to tell you.

When my clutch failed I was told that stronger units were available. Mine actually failed after I overheated it reversing up a steep drive. It slipped after that if I accelerated hard, and never recovered.
