It depends on the way you drive. I got 92,000 miles from my 2000 SVT Contour's clutch with highway, city , and some hard driving. I can see 144K if you drive highway most of the time. If you are dropping the clutch at 4,000 RPMs from a stop, you will not get 144K or 92K from a clutch, you might get 30K.

The higher the RPMs you shift at, the more you will wear your clutch.
