300,000 miles on a good engine rebuild is not unusual with good maintenance.
A good engine builder pays closer attention to detail and tolerances than
the factory.
Some vehicles will do 300k to 500k from the factory.
A clutch only wears when starting from a stop, if the driver knows how to
drive, what a clutch does and how.
I've never worn a clutch out.
I have replaced a few, just because it was easy to do with the engine out.
I have also re-used some with 300,000 miles on it.
The most I've ever put on a car, so far is ~500,000 miles.
I bought a good 86 Toyota Pickup body with 542,000 miles, original
engine...still running [badly] and put my 78 drive train in it. [rebuilt
once, full race tolerances. ]
The 78 rusted apart.
Still going like new.

Ode, common now......800,000 miles and 3 engines? If you were making the
comparison to a plastic surgeon, the analogy would be more believable. :)

Car comes in needing a new clutch, gets new clutch.
1Customer screams about being screwed, but won't listen to driving lessons.
Tries to sue the mechanic...sometimes wins because judges know nothing
about cars or driving one.
Meanwhile, the mechanics identical clutch has out lived 3 engines at
800,000 miles on the car.
