There is no regular schedule for replacing a clutch, it all depends on your left foot. Wait till it starts slipping and don't worry, it won't go out all at once.

or do what i did and replace it cuz it was old and you wanted a newer one that would hold up to some of the performance mods that you had planned for summer time

when you do replace it tho, go for a centerforce II... great clutch and if you plan on making more power, it will hold up

i'd just stay stock then untill it starts going unless you really want one which if i had the money i would because i've heard lots of good things about centerforces and holding power and stuff

mine feels awesome and is just about broken in so i will let you know how it goes when i can finally get "on it" but so far it engages much better and locks better than the stock clutch... if i were you i would just wait it out but if you do decide to do all those performance mods, i would at least invest in getting one, as a weak clutch will do you no good if you are making much more power than stock...
