You do see a lot of these cars having new clutches installed at relatively low mileage.

Once you see how small the 996 clutch is, it will be clear why they don't last as much as all the other cars on the road. The surface area of the disk is slightly larger than a Civic and has to hold 300hp.

My '99 needed a new motor at 45K miles so I bought a new disc, PP and T/O brng. for the dealer to install. I measured the friction material of the original disc and it was about 60% good. I installed the new stuff anyway and think I could have easily made over 100K miles.
Another way to put it in my case the clutch lasted over twice as long as the motor. Motor failed due to intermix, cracked cylinder. Lucky to get it goodwilled in its 7th year, 3 years after warranty expired and being the second owner. It was a bit of work though.
