I replaced my original clutch at 25k only because they dealer was doing the RMS under warranty and I wouldn't have to pay for the labor to replace the clutch.

Right now the car is at 55k miles with not signs of clutch wear.

2001 5spd.

I bought my car with 60k on it, and I believe it had the original clutch. Last week the car turned 100K. The clutch engagement feels the same as when I bought it. It's a 6sp, 2000 986S.

I only have 13k miles on mine (original) and will likely outlast me. I have witnessed new P-Cars go through a clutch in a weekend due to the drivers inability to master the manual transmision. Therefore, as earlier stated, it will last as long as the driver's technic allows it to.
