Clutches are designed to wear and be replaced, like brakes.
Cars are designed to wear and be replaced, too. Hey, even girlfriends and wives wear and need replacing!

I think the difference between cars and women is that cars wear out slower if you drive different ones, while relationships wear out faster when you try to have simultaneous ones.
