Kind if off topic, but im curious who has gone the furthest on the stock CSC? Im at 52k miles and no problems yet.

Probably me, about 135,000 miles.

But keep in mind i'm 95% of the time on open hwy, not a lot of need to shift.

Ive pretty much accepted that its going to happen and when it does ill have to pony up for a new clutch and CSC. Hope its later than sooner.

as long as you know, the only real crappy part is the OE clutch and flywheel are not cheap, order all aftermarket from the same place at the same time, that way it's a one and done repair and everything works together.

I have no intention of putting an OEM clutch back in. Ill keep factory flywheel.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the factory is a dual mass type, so you'll have to change both.

More chatter but faster revs with a lighter flywheel. The OEM one weighs like 30 lbs or something deliberately to dampen the chatter. Lightweight aftermarket ones are half that.

Well regardless, I wont buy a lightweight flywheel, I've had them and they suck for street use.

90 ST is honestly the source to go to if you are worried about anything. The guy has over 200k miles (converted) in canadia weather.

He says he doesn't shift much but I call bs... =P

Ask him if he still makes his car haul arse and you'll be pleasantly surprised (or check his 200k mile club problem thread)

Even if you don't go lightweight you will have to swap to a standard flywheel vs a dual mass, not sure anyone makes a replacement clutch for the OE style flywheel. Besides the fell is a lot nicer, IMO.

You can go with an aftermaket clutch kit and still use the stock flywheel.

Well I don't know if you can use a high speed twin disk type clutch with the stock flywheel, but single disks will work like a Southbend stage 1-3 or JWT kit.
