Pechorin..if the clutch is engaged, it's engaged. you won't wear it out, it's fully engaged, not partially engaged. Anecdotally all I have ever owned is stick shift cars and motorcycles. I have never replaced a clutch in any vehicle I have owned (or transmission either) Many of the cars have had over 250,000 mikes (for the last 24 years I was an over the road salesman). the other side of the coin is I usually get 120,000 miles out of the front brakes and over 200,000 on the rear brakes on my cars. much less of course on motorcycles., but on my FZ and ST brakes usually last about 25,000 miles.I have 39,000 miles on my ST, brakes have been replaced once and I will check them again at about 50,000.
