My clutch lasted 220,000 miles. It really depends on the driver in how long the clutch will last. Have tried replacing the trans fluid? When my clutch was going bad it was squealing when I released the clutch. Also, you may feel the clutch slipping (rev goes up when hit the gas).

Here is a way to tell if your clutch is going bad... Get up to 45mph and put the car in 5th gear... Put the gas to the floor... If the engine revs up before the car starts to move your clutch is going bad...

It doesn't sound like this is your problem though...
