Various items:
- Engine mount
- gearbox mount
- guibo (flex disc)
- driveshaft bearing
- diff mount
- diff
- CV

So basically anything that is linked to the drive train.

I think you'll find that the clutch friction material actually lasts quite a while, but other parts will probably fail before then - i.e. release bearings ect ...
