HOW MANY MILES did you replace CLUTCH???

I am about to replace the clutch in my Boxster because it is starting to slip a little at 52K. But my son is driving a 1982 Honda Civic "Wagovan" that has 110,000 miles and the original clutch. It is not the snappiest clutch I have ever used, but it works.

My daily beater is a 1990 Nissan truck with 206,000 miles on the original power train. I put 165k miles on my Datsun 240Z before I sold it never replacing the clutch but rebuilt the 4-speed twice due to weak main shaft bearings. Clutches will last if you treat them right.

I don't think I need a clutch yet, but I'd be interested in knowing about your experience for future reference.

Is clutch slip just when you can pop it out of gear without putting the clutch in (while driving or accelerating)? Or is it if you drop it down a couple gears with the engine reved and drop the clutch and the car doesnt do anything but continue to rev?
