my first MT, but typically the first clutch should last at least 20-30K before replacement right ? ? ?

I've remember it took my 1 hour or so to get use to the clutch point of my cousins old MR2,
but I figure ridding a clutch a bit for an hour or two can't wear down the clutch that much.... can it ?
Typically clutches last 100k +, on stock power levels. They can be forgiving to new drivers as long as you don't do anything really bone headed.

The original clutch in my CL had plenty of meat left after 103k miles, but I swapped it out for a different setup. My brothers Accord V6 has 120k+ miles, stock clutch and still holding strong. I know another person that had their clutch finally let go around 230k miles.

Obviously if youre making more power and constantly slipping/dumping/otherwise beating the hell out of the clutch, it won't last long.
