    All I can say is that my specialist always takes these readings with a large pinch of salt. Typically when they require replacement (on 360’s anyway) they still read double digits in remaining life, so don’t expect to get down to 1% before needing to replace.

    its going the wrong direction , :) after driving 5k miles should read like 70% wear..

    the question is it possible this reading reflect the 5k miles i drove?

    I’d say it mostly depends on what the driving was like.

    5k miles in stop start traffic will eat clutch in a way that motorway miles won’t touch it.

    People send WAY too much time worrying about clutches. I had a 360 for over 12 years and almost 40K miles. I have had my 599 for a year and it now has 30K miles. I DD both. Clutches just aren't a significant issue but they get a mountain of mindshare and worry.
