What is the strongest clutch?

How long does a clutch normally last?
around 60,000 miles
Generally speaking, most clutches will last for around 60,000 miles – but this can vary from as little as 30,000 miles to as much as 100,000 miles. This can depend on many factors, and not all of them are possible to control.
Does clutch affect speed?
In answer to your direct question, YES, worn clutches will cause a loss of acceleration, the springs wear out as well as friction material, so the clutch discs don’t ‘clamp’ down as hard on the flywheel. This in turn leads to loss of performance at a big margin!
Does clutch reduce speed?
The function of a clutch is to facilitate smooth gear switching by reducing engine speed. A clutch also prevents the engine from stopping while the gear is operated and driving at low speed.
Also, the clutch, which is represented by the leftmost pedal on the car, serves to slow down the car while the engine is braking.
