This is an ongoing poll of SHOtimes subscriber experience with clutch life. This is not a scientific study of any kind, and your mileage may vary. Do not use this list as a predictor of typical clutch life. Some of these cars are raced and heavily modified!
This list also includes clutches replaced under a (now expired) Ford program that affected '89, '90, and early '91 models with 9.25 clutches.
