A clutch is $400.00. I am driving a Camry with the original clutch and it has 145K/miles on the odo.

Re: my comment a few back - I really haven't heard any bids under $750 recently and much more on a 4WD. The $400 would be only about $150 more than the parts.

Clutch life depends heavily on usage, of course. Shop that replaced my clutch said they had a job recently that was returned with slippage after a week. The owner went for a ride with the teenage driver and turned out she was half-slipping the clutch the entire time she was driving. My clutch lasted 31 years in mostly stop and go driving with very heavy trailer loads over the Cascade mountain passes back in the 90s. If you never pull loads and drive on the highway all the time the clutch can last practically forever.
