I sold my 91 Integra after 14 years and 104,000 miles with the original clutch. People who replace clutches after 20k must really beat the :shit: out of them or can't drive worth :shit: .

Changing your clutch at 20K , you've got to be burning :flamer: your clutch at every shift.

Also bear in mind most factory tach's are terribly inaccurate. 8500 on the tach may have been well under 8000.

Clutch OK.
