absent any slip, i wouldn't worry about changing the clutch. once it starts to slip, take it in.
FYI, my OEM clutch lasted about 125k miles, and i race the car.

That right there is awesome.
Kudos.
I agree with getting a second opinion and going by the way the car feels. You should be able to tell in any car when the clutch is really going, and that slip test insite mentioned should definitely be the tell.
Sounds to me like the OP's pretty nice to the car and not trying to cover the rear end in rubber, so I'd say don't even worry yourself about it for at least another 20k, since only 35 of that 52 is your own, and I really doubt the PO would've put
that much of a hurting on the clutch in 17k.
