How many miles on your clutch ? (986)

[thstone]

92K miles before replacement in 2011. 1999 base.

2001 Boxster 2.7. 40k miles. Slight judder from start
with low revs. but okay with higher revs. Has slight leak in rms. Will drive this 5 speed/clutch till it falls apart or IMSGuardian warning goes off whichever comes first, then the clutch gets replaced.

78k miles 2000 2.7l 5 speed. Original clutch but it is toast! I am changing it as soon as I get the parts in three days. Here's the backstory; wanted to see if boxster had wheel spin; revved to 7000 rpm and dumped the clutch. As a result, the clutch slips 200rpm before finally going into gear. I think it had maybe another 10,000 miles on it before it needed to be changed if I had not done that; the car was a city driver.

^ My clutch let go at ~70K too. Albeit at the 10 year mark.
I probably linger on the clutch too much. By far my worst habit.

Base Boxster, 2.7L with 27900miles, original clutch.

No slippage or chatter. The clutch engages right away. So far we've been pretty lucky with this car despite a worthless PrePurchase Inspection.

I replaced mine at 72k and 13 years. It was still working, but I wanted to get the IMS done. The mechanic said it didn't have much longer. Needed a new flywheel too.

My 2000 S had 47xxx miles at purchase last May. Was expecting to replace clutch during IMSB surgery, but PO had already had it done. Dumbass was that deep in and didn't have IMSB and RMS swapped out while car was apart?!

1- perhaps it wasn't yet available, the LN IMS is a fairly recent development.

2- perhaps he had the clutch done, like most people, at the dealer. The guys who work for the company that swears there's no issue with the IMS.


i'd love to know how many grenaded m96 engines were on their second clutch.

2000 Base with 55,000 miles (90,000 km) and no problems except slight judder on take-offs once warmed up, if below 1300 RPM's.

Assuming it had the original clutch when I bought the car.
88,000 miles and still going.

You can get a hard launch, even spinning the tires, without using 6500 RPM. Try a more reasonable 4-5K.

And yes, you can make them last a long time, but screw that, I bought the car to have fun!
