Stock clutch question.

Was wondering if the stock clutch needs to be replaced at a certain miles. I just hit 60k and for the past maybe 2-3k the clutch feels loose, like it grabs further out more and more, any input is great, thanks.

When was the last time you bleed/flush your Brake system ?

and it might be bad clutch, but U should check the Clutch pedal to see if its still within spec.

Miles is not a good thing to go by because driving styles vary. I changed mine at 86,000 as an excuse to upgrade and the OEM still had life left on it. I do mostly highway driving and I have never done a clutch drop.
