How long will stock clutch hold?

How many sprays do you estimate it would take to blow out a stock cluth? On a 50 shot and not spraying but once or twice a month how long will the stock clutch last?

just change it. the car will run better anyway because the clutch won't slip. some people will say that it will last for a while, but I changed mine before I did my nitrous or turbo just to be safe

i had a 50 shot and used it often so far clutch hasnt had a problem and i romp on it daily. i havnt used the 50 shot in a few months but when i used it for about 4 months i went through bottle like every week. i agree in changing it but if your only using it once or twice a month you should get away with it for awhile.

I have used the stock clutch for about 25000 NA miles, and another 7000 turbo miles. I went 13.6 @ 102 mph with the stock clutch. They seem to hold up pretty well. I am very impressed.

honestly it will hold up... but the reality is not weither it will blow or not.... the real deal is.. can it handle the HP ur throwing to it... i mean upgrade the clutch and u wont lose HP... the better the clutch , the better the clamping force thus giving you all the hp u are producing.. well not ALL.. but alot more then the stock can dish out.

Yeah I forget how loud it is untill i turn down the radio, which is just to pull up to a drive through or put in the code at my gate.

Its pretty loud. I just ignore it, its not a big issue, unless it dries out or something, then your pedal feel would be screwed up.
Better safe than sorry though

Damn mine squeaks too! I took it to Honda and they said my cheap CAI cut the boot the protects the clutch. Oh well, no that I can see what's squeaking I'll address the problem. What kind of lube should I use?
