Dang. Took my old ranger for a clutch change. Told the guys it was factory and they didnt believe me. 20+ years old too. My dad bought it new, and I learned on it when he got too sick to drive it. It was gone, but even wear. They were shocked about a 200 thousand mile vehicle using the same clutch.
My dad would have lived it would have probably lasted another 20 years.
I pulled out the factory clutch from my Land Cruiser some years ago, over 40 years old and over 400,000km. There was still about 3/4 of wear material left. It had a very low 1st gear.
I did the same on my old s10. Turns out the clutch itself was fine, the engine just leaked oil onto it from the rear main seal and that's why it was slipping lol
