I had a Dodge Dakota with a manual transmission that was assessed as having ~65% of its clutch life left at ~120k miles.

Yes, I babied it.

It also slowly got better and better mileage until about the same time- mechanic said I’d finally broken in that cast iron block.

I do miss that little pickup, though I have to admit that my current little Subaru Crosstrek is a great little vehicle too.

I have 193,000 on my ‘03 Civic and original clutch, which is rather surprising, given that Honda engines have minimal low end torque, which often means a fair amount of slipping of the clutch. It also has spent most of its life in Seattle, which has significant hills in certain areas, not a good recipe for long clutch life.
