My car turned over 100K last summer...and as far as I know, still on the stock clutch. It still seems to hold just fine so I'm wondering how long until it's gonna need replaced?

There's absolutely no telling.

I felt I drove the bag off of my car, at 85k miles the clutch looked good enough that I should have probably sold it to a poor person who wanted to keep their S197 on the road.

OK. Crazy how long factory clutches last...on my old '90 2.3L LX, granted it had no power but I drove that thing from 90K to 156K on the stock clutch, with lots of powershifting and clutch dumps and it still held great.

Mine made about 125K of pretty hard driving, then disintegrated one night on a 1-2 redline shift...

My 03 GT (basically same transmission TR3650) has 125k miles on it and stock clutch. Granted original owner I don't think ever took the car full throttle before me!

A properly driven stick shift car can last a lot of miles. Had a Tempo that went over 200K. About 50K of it I absolutely beat it trying to break it. Never broke. If not absolutely abused you should be good for at least 150K.

My clutch still good at 124,000 but I did break the clutch master cylinder at around 100,000. The eyelet sometimes breaks. Maybe too hard in the pedal at times, lol.
