These days I don’t see 90000 as premature. I think if your getting that out of the clutch hydraulics you’ve done well. Don’t forget manufacturers still consider 100000 as a lifetime for their cars.

Premature is failing after a couple of years or limited mileage like the “quality” parts currently being supplied. If I was confident a clutch would last that long when replaced on a 75 I wouldn’t be so reluctant to buy a manual. I would guess that c3 has spent a good deal of its 89k town driving too...
