93K on my 95. I believe it is original as I have no paperwork proving otherwise!

89K on first clutch -- bought car with 76K and clutch still feels like when I bought it. Commuting on surface streets mostly...so I'm probably not doing my clutch any favors. So far -- however -- so good...

Hi!, there's a known or special test to know if the clutch has to be replaced (soon)?

LOL
Um, no. The whole idea of a new clutch is that it DOESN'T slip.

I'm replacing mine this week or the next. Only slips in 5th and 6th above 5.000 RPM (just before overspeeding speed limits - LOL).

Clutch life
Just sold my 1996 993 with 101,000 and the original clutch. Was sad to see the old car go.

'98 C2S with 50K. It's in the shop getting a new clutch as I write. Hope to get more than 50K on the replacement.
