    What is the longest reported mileage on an F1 clutch? 360 and F430.

    The first clutch on my F430 lasted 30k (had 10% left when i swapped it out for a new one). After 2200 miles i have 94% left despite spirited driving and lots of driving in the city. This means in theory that the clutch should last 36k miles until it´s 100% worn if it continues to wear in the same rate.

    I have almost 20K on mine.

    I put ZERO weight in what the Ferrari computer says my clutch % is. I've never even asked.

    Years ago, things were apart so I did the clutch at 22K but it was less than 1/2 worn. I anticipate something near 50K miles on a clutch but I don't try to launch as quickly as I can. I try to engage the clutch in a car length; then I can go as hard as I want.

    I would also remember that even those that drive a lot, most don't do more than 5K per year. Even at 36K miles that is 7-10 years or something like $500 per year so I really don't care.

    just curious, why ZERO weight? Ferrari trying to get you to replace clutch sooner than latter?

    Is the % value the remainding amount to wear or is it the % that is worn?

    Mine was replaced at 18,000 miles right before I bought it due to a leaking TOB. IIRC it was at around 45%.
    I'm approaching 35,000 miles now but haven't had it "read".

    Mine is at 42% worn on original clutch with 45 K miles. No stop and go and no downtown driving on the hills. There is an art to driving them. You feather the gas when starting and stopping like you would a clutch. At least that is my theory. I always have it on sport as well.

    38 K miles on our 360. We've put 20K on since purchase four years ago. Estimated wear reported on PPI was 35%.

    My 2004 360 Modena is a tick shy of 39,200 miles. Last month, I had all the belts replaced. I asked the technician about clutch wear at that time. He indicated computer said 63% (worn). I looked through my 3-ring document binder with records from Day 1, there is information stating 50% wear at 30k miles.

    My 07 430 is at 35K miles and a guesstimate of 33% worn. I think on the 430 if the clutch is set up properly that it should last 50K -75K
    Good friend had his 430 clutch replaced at 2K and he knows how to drive. He had an F40, Testarossa and a 360 before purchasing the 430. Bad setup from factory and replaced under warranty.
