Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
OPC reckoned this was fairly good mileage for a 4WD motor and had seen many need replacing after just 5-10K if they'd been hammered.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1Original post

Clutch on our Chimaera is going to need replacing - at about 40,000 miles. Yours *should* be going strong still I'd have said. Still. A new clutch isn't the end of the world. Have you had your OPC/Specialist take a look?

POST 2Original post

Know of a guy who bought a 944 new and covered 180,000 miles with the original clutch. It was still fine when he sold it. I guess clutch wear really is down to mechanical sympathy. In your case I suppose something had not been fitted correctly at the factory or maybe the previous owner had never driven a manual before. >> Edited by Thom on Saturday 15th March 11:37

POST 3Original post

C'est incredible! My pig's on it's original clutch too, albeit after a relatively paltry 36k miles, although several thousand of these latterly with a little more strain than normal on the plates.. (Makes you realise just how crap Lambo clutches must be.)

POST 4Original post

I managed 45K out of my stock-ish 993TT before the clutch needed replacing. OPC reckoned this was fairly good mileage for a 4WD motor and had seen many need replacing after just 5-10K if they'd been hammered.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi How long should a clutch last? Have a 996 2001 C4 Cab. Some judder on pickup and it seems to be slipping a bit, or is it me? coming up to 24k,do not use it for track days or mad starts away from lights! Advice please. Steve
