04 Stang GT Clutch?

[Roos85]

I am getting ready to buy an 04 Mustang Gt with 40k on the car... HOw soon do you all think i will need to replace the clutch?

It all depends on how you drive it and how its been driven by the previous owner,Im not hard on mine and my tb went at 70k,I think that under normal conditions 70k-80k is normal for the stock.But like I said it all depends on how its been driven.But when it does go you throw in a good performance clutch.

mine original one went about 120,000 miles...

Depends on the previous owner and how you drive it. My clutch has 27,xxx on it and I push over 450rwhp, so I figure that's like 100k miles with stock power...and it looks great and holds perfect.

I have 78k on my '02 and I drive the **** outta this car fairly regularly. My throwout bearing was taking a dump so when I replaced it I went ahead and put a new clutch & flywheel in it. The stock clutch was still in great shape. I kept it in case something ever happens and I'm in a pinch.

i have a lil over 100k with my stock clutch and its been dumped, lauched on drag radials and beat to hell...jus now replacing it...still doesnt slip just want to change it to b safe so i think it should b ok with 40k on it

Ive got 127k on the stock clutch.

I am 99% sure it is the origional one as well, as it is showing a little age... but if it isnt, it was replaced with a stock clutch.

Guys, thanks for all your advice. I should be picking up the car in the next few days. Thanks again guys

No problem, im sure youll get hooked on it like we all did here, lol.

Post some pics when you get it if you can.

I def will. Its an 04 Competition Orange GT. Stock and unmolested. I cany wait. Its been over years since I had a pony. Time to get back on the saddle

I think you have to beating on the car or have a LOT more power than stock or just not knowing how to properly use a clutch if it doesn't last 100k. I am always confused when SN members complain when they need a new clutch at 40k.

I know people that have 200K+ on the stock clutch. When mine goes, I'm probably going to replace it with OEM b/c it has lasted a long time.

Mine was still good at 125k. 45k of that was with the supercharger. Throwout bearing went out at 125k.

 

[mransr]

when I replaced mine I just did it because the TO bearing went out...

57K on mine. Original clutch, no slipping, no TB noise

thanks for all the advice
