When driven properly a clutch can/should typically out last the the transmission and the throw-out bearing.

A family friend has a CRX with over 400k on it... Original clutch.

Sold my 96' prelude with 192K on it. Original Clutch.

Sure, not all cars are created equal nor driving conditions. Example: The Mini has a terrible clutch (very weak) and if the owner say, lives in San Fransisco, the it is very common for these clutches to fail quickly (under 50k). However, this is atypical and the majority of cars have adequate clutches that should last as long as the vehicle if driven properly.
