CLUTCH HYDRAULICS & COMPONENTS - Worn Out Clutch = Worn Out Clutch Hydraulics. The
labor cost to replace an internal slave cylinder assembly costs just
as much as the labor to replace the entire clutch set. It is estimated the average clutch system gets
actuated over 30,000 times per year. This number may be much higher
for people who do a lot of start and stop driving! The average
automobile clutch lasts 7.6 years. That means the clutch hydraulics
can get actuated on average almost 250,000 times before the clutch
wears out. Would it be safe to say the seals inside the clutch
hydraulics are worn at this point? How about the bushings in the
push rods and pivot points in the pedal assembly? If the clutch is
worn out after 7.6 years of continuous use and heat cycles then it
would be safe to assume the hydraulics could have already failed or
are susceptible to failure at some point in the near future.
