I had 143K on the original clutch and I pulled it because I wanted to do the IMS upgrade and I figured at 143K it should be near death. I was wrong the clutch plate still had plenty of meat and the flywheel still had machining marks. My mechanic was amazed.
I ended up biting the bullet and replacing the clutch and pressure plate anyways. The difference in drivability is amazing, it is no longer a chore to drive in traffic and the overall shift quality has gone up. The only thing that I can surmize is that the throwout bearing, and spring loading in the clutch plate were starting to fail due to age and mileage.
