Clutch life... how long will it last?

I'm going to roll over 100K miles soon. I'm just wondering the average life of the OEM clutch. I have a 5 speed, fwd, '95 90. I know it probably depends on how I drive, but I'm just wondering when most people start thinking about replacing it.

How much would the average shop charge (in hours) to replace a clutch and flywheel?

Thanks,

Mike

I've seen B3/4s with well over 200 on original clutches.

Actually, there isnt a receipt for one on my coupw, and the PO kept ALL the work orders for it. Also, he owned a UrQ before trading it for the CQ back in '90...cool, huh?!
