21436, how long would an OEM replacement clutch last at 9psi
Posted by dzaVenge, May-06-02 03:11 AM
on a 1998 420a motor if that matters.
i'm not going any higher than 9psi and i'm not trying to spend 800 on a stage 3 clutch being that i already have a new stock replacement.

depends on how you use it hehe. If you do hard take offs and a lot of fast downshifts you clutch ain't gonna last long. Mine is starting slip now and I'm at like 5 psi :(

I've had mine for 24,500 miles. About half of it 5-6 psi and the other half at 7-9 psi. I've probably had about 5-6 track launches ever. But I boost the crap out of it daily.

I have had the stock clutch in my car for 19,000 turbo miles about 3/4 of it was 5-6 psi and the rest 8 psi. I have been to the track about 4-5 times since then too. And it hasnt slipped yet. I am going to stage 3 and I cant aford to put in the clutch just yet. I am going to run 10 psi for a while untill the clutch finally starts to die then its time to spend $700 for a stage 4 clutch.
