Mine still grabs tight with no slipping. I did have a 'wrong gear' mishap on Monday when I got annoyed with a Volvo driver who finally turned off so I punched it while dropping it into 2nd and I was going too slow for that gear so I just spun the clutch even though it was fully engaged. A little smell then all was well but it got me thinking about it.

It still shifts strong in all gears and grabs low (start to grab at 1/4 the way up).

Maybe it can wait for a while then.

There is no standard mileage to replace a clutch. Clutch life is heavily dependent on driving style and technique. My dad used to take business trips between Denver and New Mexico once a month, his clutch lasted over 150,000 miles.
