You know, this is a loaded question. Clutch wear can be wildly different for different drivers, depending on how they use it (one guy will get 20k out of his clutch and another will get 80k out of it). Mine was replaced at 82k, but I think this was the second clutch in the car because it did not have all factor parts in it according to my mechanic.

As for whom to go to for a clutch replacement, I'd find a good independent mechanic and supply him with a Sachs clutch kit purchased from Vertex or whomever has the best deal on it. The stealership will rape you with factory parts and their book rate charge... even if the mechanic can do it in three hours, you are always charged what the service advisor's book says... which I think is something like 8 hours!

Hope this helps. Why do you think you need a new clutch?
