put 90k on my last exedy OEM replacement in the WRX and with a 100 mile weekday commutes and thrashed it since 500 mile break-in period, rev matching each shift is not always convenient in stop and go traffic.. it is a fun game to play while in it, though
watch how people track their cars, it won't wear out your synchros like I said, just accelerate the clutch disk wear. One also has bigger problems to worry about than just clutch springs when they drop the clutch.. That action is completely different shock wise to the drivetrain, especially the gearset and main shaft. How much is to be determined.
Also nothing quite like slipping the clutch on a RWD! Clutches are made to be wear items.
I get your point though.. still feel that 'wearing it out in no time' is TBD by the driver's skills and abilities to mitigate damage by how they drive as a whole
