But surely it depends on what vehicle and what you do with it, no?  A=20
heavy vehicle or one that often pulls weight will require clutch
service=20
before one that is light (but well-made) and unladen.  Likewise, the
ratio=
=20
of highway miles to city miles should have an effect.

The only clutch that I can recall _having_ to replace was the result of a=
=20
throw-out bearing giving up the ghost.
