Default 130,000 on original clutch

I was just wondering how long other people's original clutch lasted for them. I bought the car last march with 113,000 k. The guy I bought it was the original owner. He told me that the clutch was never replaced. 130,000 on a original clutch just seems like a lot of miles to me.. I'm starting to notice a little bit of a later catch point so I'm sure it's about to go out.

Thanks

As long as the clutch isnt beat up and the owner knows how to drive, the clutch can/should last the life of the car.

It doesn't slip or anything yet. I just can tell a difference the last couple of months. Seem to not be as smooth as u use to be either.

yeah a good driver can really make a clutch last a long long time. some of the scion OEM clutches arent known for being exactly the most durable clutches though and mine has 50k on it and it makes a squeaking noise on engagement which i believe might be the pressue plate but im not really sure

I'm at 105k and it still grabs very strong. Still can chirp 3rd, no signs of slipping. Have been driving 5/6 speed's for 6+ years now, racing days are long done with but it all comes down to drive. On every take off I never have to rev it to get it going if that says anything.
