Who has the most miles on their SS with 6 speed manual? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*SSE 4 2SS* · 06-28-2013, 01:07 AM

are we talking total miles or mph....

I'm on my third clutch, 23,000 miles.... 13 on the original, 9 on the second one, and approx 2 on this one....

*SSE 4 2SS* · 06-28-2013, 01:08 AM

First one was a waste at 800 rwhp, second one was an on off switch I threw away, and the third one is a beast triple disc carbon clutch that is freak'in awesome....
And I moved this to the proper forum...

Mine looked brand new when I took it out with 30k miles on it.

If you know how to drive a stick, don't slip the hell out of it to move the car and don't ride the clutch while driving, then it should last 100k+. (without alot of drag racing and stock power of course). Nothing to fear!

swapped mine out at about 30k and it was perfect. I swapped clutches due to added power/torque.

63,500 miles and 4 years on mine (2000 since supercharger install) and doing fine, so long as I don't race it and shift over 6k RPMs too often. It all depends on how much you abuse it.

47k with lots of abuse, still holding up great.

I got 33000 on my car. Go to track a lot. Glove box full of time slips. Cam only 460 rwhp. The only problem I had was it sticking to the floor when I was on it hard at the track. Usually from first to second. Found out it was from burnt old fluid. Changed it out from dot3 to dot4. Problem solved. I keep it changed now. Always before I go to the track. Holding up strong!!!!

Bell040 · 07-01-2013, 04:31 PM

140,000 (139K and some change)

Clutch gets better with time, new dot 4 brake fluid helps too.

MikeOD · 07-04-2013, 10:28 AM

My clutch was just fine at 58K miles, but I took it out to put in a nice Exedy that can hold a lot more power.

In my old 4th gen Z28 I did 210K on the stock clutch...never went further than basic bolt on power in that car.

I had the same issue. I just recently separated the brake and clutch fluids and had both systems flushed and filled with Motul DOT4 fluid. I haven't quite tested it with 6K+ RPM shifts since, but plan to soon.

Wow, and I thought I drove mine a lot! 'Looks like ours were built within a few weeks of each other (mine's #6561).
