My 1999 lpt has 120,000 KM and the clutch feels like it still has plenty of life (it still catches on fairly low). 50% city 50% highway and two drivers.
My Volvo 850 is at 200K KM with original clutch. Clutches should last at least 250K KM under normal service.
The rule of thumb is simple: There is no wear and tear if the clutch is fully depressed or resting. Anything in between induces wear. When I shift, I am usually very quick with the clutch and I don't ride it either.
It takes practice to do this without jolting the car...
My wife on the other hand... let's not go there.
I would insure that it is the clutch and then get numerous estimates for the job as it should be a standard job.
Good luck.
