Clutch Inspection?

Post by esjones »

I have a 2003 base Vibe which recently turned 150,000 miles on the odo. I've had no clutch problems to date, but realize that a clutch does have a limited life, and mine is probably getting close to that life.Is there any way to inexpensively inspect the clutch for wear and remaining life, or do you just have to wait for it to start slipping? Has anyone gotten much more than 150,000 miles out of a clutch?Many thanks.

It depends on the way you drive. I changed the clutch at 160,000 miles and found out that it worn only haft. So that I think, you just drive until it start slipping.
