They commonly can reach 90,000 to 120,000 depending on driver. The way you drive; all bets are off. I refer to your "carography"

I've changed mine last year, I think it had about 250'000km at that time. I had the car since 170'000km and I learned how to drive on that same clutch.

So it realy depends on how you drive. A friend of mine changed his after only a year, abour 20'000km

Oh and btw, only go for honda oem or performance clutch. Other cheaper brands wont hold as mutch torque as oem and will wear faster.

I whole heartedly agree with lookalike.
Stick with either Honda OEM, or a Good aftermarket HD Clutch Kit
(and do yourself a big favor and don't cheap-out. Replace the throw-out bearing too.)
Believe me, you only want to do this job once.

My 5th gen lasted to 140k miles. It all really depends on how you drive, if you hold the clutch down for long ect ect

Or get a lightened flywheel. And check or replace your rear main while your down there.
Definately don't cheap it on the clutch or you'll be pulling your tranny again. Unless you like that kind of thing.
