How long did your oem 5 speed clutch last? If you are the 1st owner, at how many miles did you have to replace the original one? Thanks.

 

My clutch was still good at 125,000 miles, but my bearings went bad

 

My old car as 90k on the stock clutch and this one has 64k on the stock clutch. Both are doing just fine.

 

Just replaced my OEM clutch at 90k. 40k of that was me abusing it daily.

 

My stock clutch lasted me till 46k. I bought my car with 12k on it and I'm pretty sure the previous owner didn't drive it too hard. I put at least 40+ track runs on the clutch though, and I think I did too many back to back runs. Heat is definitely the enemy

I had a friend who had a car that had the stock clutch for 113,000 miles. After he had driven it for 1,000 miles (up to 114,000) he had beat the hell out of it and he broke it. If you baby it they can last for 100,000 +. But if you wanna have fun it will come at a cost .

 

My stock clutch is due to turn 130,000 miles in a few days, I drive the car every day for work. I like to drive fast but I only floor the gas when the clutch is fully engaged.

 

My 98 SE just turned over 80,000 miles, and my clutch is still working perfectly. I don't drive real hard though - I only punch it once the clutch is fully engaged...

 

Had my 95 SE since 1994. Got 140,000 miles, clutch still doing fine. Knock on wood!

 

I am just over 111k with the OEM clutch and tranny. Still working fine, although I find I have to be practically stopped to get into first gear without grinding and sometimes I get a little clutch slippage when cold.

 

My suggestion to you, change your tranny fluid. Either MT-90 or Mobil 1 synthetic tranny fluid. Make sure it's 75W90 grade for our car. That will get rid of the 1st gear difficulties and mak shifing much smoother in all gears.

Not a Maxima, but...

I've been driving my fiance's 95 Nissan Pickup with 150000 on the OEM clutch. It's just fine

 

I bought my car, which was lady driven, with 30K miles. The car currently has 80K miles, 65+ 1/4 mile passes with lots of hard shifts that are close to powershifts. The clutch has never slipped on me. When it comes to change it out, it's gonna be a hard decision to get an ACT or stick with stock.

110,000 on my one owner 95 Max. STill pulls just fine. No slippage. Mom's 96 Max went about 125K and she sold it with the OEM clutch working fine.
