Average life for a Rover 75 T clutch.
Ok Guys......whats the average mileage I can expect from a replacement clutch.
Please dont say how long is a piece of string...I dont want chapter and verse just a estimate within 500 miles. I dont tow and I dont drive mad.just normal running around.... Thanks Bill |

I would be disappointed with anything less than 60k miles to be honest with normal driving.

My Tourer is on its 3rd clutch at 125k, but I don't know how long the original rover clutch or it's LUK replacement lasted respectively. All I can say is that the LUK lasted at least 30k before I replaced it at 125k.

what parts of the clutch have been replaced and what problem are you experiencing?
Do you keep the clutch pedal pushed down and the car in gear when stationary? macafee2 |

If you are talking about the Driven Plate then I would expect 70/80k. but the slave can go well before the Driven Plate some as soon as 20K

82,000 on the original clutch, will see how long the replacement lasts.

I was taught not to keep foot on clutch and yes I notice those with brake lights on, do autos drive bad practice for this? I don't think drives care if they dazzle others with their brake lights.

Nothing wrong with concentric cylinders per se but MG Rover should have spent a bit more and specified decent ones for our cars.
I've never seen a friction disc anywhere near worn out when replacing a failed slave cylinder. There are 4 other hydraulic slave cylinders on our cars. Imagine if the brake calipers failed before they had even got through their first set of pads. |

This...
This was an original clutch at 125,00 miles and 13 careful owners in a standard 1.8. I reckon the load on a 1.8 is greater than a higher CC variant, more revs to move off = more slippage over time. I think this clutch did well to last so long.
