The clutch in my '88 Escort is an Auto Zone lifetime warranty and currently has about 210K miles on it. I've only replaced one clutch in any car I've ever owned because it wore out, it had 260K miles on it when it was replaced. I did replace the clutch in a Mazda pickup many years ago that only had abut 80K miles on it. The transmission was having to come out to have new needle bearing put in it so I told them to replace the clutch/pressure plate/release bearing. When I went to pick up the truck from a friend who did the work he said he did as I ask, but said the original clutch still looked new.
