Clutch Advice Needed......

[Dave M]

So, I'm slowly piecing this thing back together in my spare time and have a clutch wear question. I ordered a clutch, pressure plate etc. from BMA anticipating the need to change it (also considering the 'while you're in there' factor), BUT....when I measure clutch disc and pressure plate wear, I am hesitant to make the change without consultation with the pros

The disc measures a solid 9mm with no runout, while the pressure plate shows barely any sign of significant wear ( a lip has not even remotely started to form and the fingers etc. are perfect). So, given that the minimum is 7.5mm, the new disc is 10mm and I'm at 9mm now, my brain figures I hve some time to spare. I've changed everything else back there including the rear main seal, gasket, and pilot bearing.

I guess i'm asking: How long should this baby last given that I only drive this thing in the short Canadian summer, mostly long trips on the highway (15,000 miles/year max), and I'm not adverse to doing this job in two or three years. Before you ask, I've driven the car with this clutch installed (by previous owner) for the last 40,000 miles. Have I just answered my own question ?

My cheap ass just can't bear to throw out what seem to be good parts.

Any and all opinions wlcome, thanks in advance,
