Clutch is dyin real fast...

[sKunkman]

So I noticed alot of slipping in my clutch. I mean, I can't even chirp in second gear anymore its gettin so bad. It also feels like it grinds slightly when changing gears (especially 3-4). So I've decided to get it done either this weekend (3 day weekend) or next weekend (4 day weekend). I live on my car and I just can't do without it.

The question is...what kind of clutch should I get? I tend to rock on my car pretty hard on occasion, so would an OEM replacement clutch be ok? I don't think I'm gonna have my car for 100,000 more miles so another clutch may not be needed.

I just wanted to know average clutch prices...along with costs of labor and where I could get a decent clutch set. I figure I have to replace the flywheel as well, and if I can get a budget LTW one that would be pretty nice

I don't have a ton of money to spend (lookin to spend ~500, a bit more for a good deal) so I need some good advice/deals TIA.



Edit: found this buy. Should I get it? 3 days till it ends or someone could buy it before that... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33730

I basically have a oem clutch, sachs sport kit from bekkers.com also SPEC makes a great stage one kit that would be a little stiffer than stock and would grab like hell, but to answer your Q the stock kit can take a beating pretty well.
