My car reached 120k miles with the same original clutch.
How can I know if I should get the clutch replaced before it starts giving trouble?How to detect when your clutch starts wearing out?You can't. You have to have some type of trouble as others have suggested before you know anything is wrong. I call slipping trouble.
I ran mine until it quit. I never noticed it slipping. It worked. Then it quit. I got a new one. I noticed no difference in behavior.
If you do have slipping, or other symptoms before total failure, count yourself lucky.How to detect when your clutch starts wearing out?more play in the clutch peddle,if it takes alot of rpms to get the car going,and any foriegn noisesHow to detect when your clutch starts wearing out?usually the first sign is slipping. with that many miles it could give out anytime. to be on the safe side if your keeping the car i would have everything put in. have the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bearing put in.How to detect when your clutch starts wearing out?At a dead stop, put the tranny in 4th gear, rev the motor to 3,000 rpms and quickly release the clutch pedal.

In other words, the engine will have to Rev faster than normal to keep you moving..
