Agreed it's the same cost as a clutch probably less than a clutch and flywheel.

As to milage a clutch lasts, how long is a piece of string? I know drivers get through 4 in 5 years while my P1 v70 which I towed with is currently 20 years old and 230,000 miles on original clutch..

I change engine oil every year irrespective of milage, I change gearbox oil every 2 years irrespective of milage. Even buying from volvo it's £14+ a litre and box takes 2.1 litres, I DIY so my time no labour, under £40 for piece of mind and longevity of gearbox. When a clutch is needed I will look at costs and weather before determining wether I DIY or put it in somewhere. As with the oil changes it's a service item, you know it will fail at some point so budget for it.
