Of the twenty MT car I have owned I replaced the clutch in one (due to failure) that was a 1958 Ford and it was 1993 so I won't take the blame on that failure.
My last 4 modern cars (a DSM and 3 Mitsus) were all traded in at around 300K miles and still all had perfectly functioning clutches. I do not drive "sensible" all the time but don't beat the crap out of my clutch and tranny either.
