- Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:13 pm #104799 anyone recommend any clutch kit? a whole kit sounds like the way to go

- Sun Mar 22, 2009 3:24 am #104872 I hear a lot about ACT & action being good performance replacements. exedy makes great oem replacements. I went with an xtd which I've read good and bad about, so far mine had been good.

Looking back, I would have bought an ACT just for the piece of mind so I wouldn't even have to think about my clutch failing - because what a PITA to replace if it happens.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Sun Mar 22, 2009 4:24 pm #104954 "Kit" just means it comes with the little plastic clutch alignment tool. You need that if you're doing this yourself. You also need the correct sockets. It's something like a 12mm 12 point socket; check the manual. And a torque wrench is critical.

I got an Exedy OEM replacement clutch and 11lb flywheel. I wouldn't recommend anything lighter than that. And if this is strictly a street car, I would just resurface the factory flywheel.

People go way overboard with their clutch and flywheel. You don't need some crazy clutch that can handle a ton of power and some super lightweight flywheel. You're going to hate driving the car afterward. OEM replacements are fine for the amount of power 90% of us will see.

- Sun Mar 22, 2009 8:55 pm #105006 yeah, the car is my daily. just a cai and a headerback. I want the most reliable clutch i can get. nothing crazy performance. im thinking going with a oem replacement like you guys said

- Mon Mar 23, 2009 1:50 pm #105168 Also where did you guys buy your kit at? I dont really want to deal with anything shady
