I just replaced the clutch on my WRX at 50k miles. I was not happy about it. Cost me $1800 at a dealer. Never tracked the car, I have experience driving stick (second manual car I've owned but have driven many others), and I don't "burn out" in it. There's been a few times I've been overly aggressive with it while trying to pull out onto a busy road (anyone who lives near Boston knows what pulling out onto Rt 1 north of the city can be like), but I really didn't think I beat on it that badly.

I assume it was a combination of factors but I'm going to be even more careful with it because it shouldn't go through clutches that quick.
