to make long story short here is where I am at


...my clutch is basically dead, it slips even in first gear.... so I will replace the 1)CLUTCH DISK and when engine idles the clutch rattles... makes me think it is 2)BEARING...

I am about to change the stuff, but I have two questions:

1. I am in Europe, therefore I want to order all at one, not many times, therefore, what else would you suggest to change besides these two things?

2. what aftermarket (performance) clutch can I get so my problem is solved with so called `clutch kit` and may be I will not have to by all the small parts seperatelly.

Thank you very much in advance,
I hope you understand what is my concern

P.S. ANY input will be appreciated

 

anyone??

may be some one have had similar thoughts before changing or upgrading the clutch ??

 

since I am all into my clutch thing


so, ...i know, it may be a dumb thing, because there is no such thing as cheap and good, BUT I have found this COMBO one on ebay, and since it is the first time i have heard the brand XTD i have to ask the american fellas,, may be you have heard of it , if so , is it worth buying??

--> I am mainly driving it in the city and NO tracks, so I do not need a high performance clutch, but I do not want a crap, do I

 

Get an ACT kit. It includes the clutch, light weight flywheel, thrust/throw out bearing for about 450.00. If you are going to change the clutch change the flywheel and bearing too. That way you get the most for your money.

 

I've never heard of XTD but if you don't want to spend 750.00 for the JWT clutcj and flywheel kit check out some other manufactureres such as ACT and Centerforce clutches. They come in different stages/applications as well (ie; street, strip,race)

 

well ACT sound more familiar,, but 450 for a combo ?!?? that sounds very good,,, mind if I ask you where can I get the combo for this price... because I will be getting it online

thanks for input

 

ok, I have decided to go with a single clutch replacement. just put an order on clutchmasters FX100 @ performancecenter.com they have it on sale for $309.11 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus ground shipping of 10.00

making my checkout sum of 319.11 which seems a very good deal


. . . I just hope that the clutch itslef will be as good

 

Not bad but ACT has clutches on Ebay as well with the flywheel combo. Clutchmasters are good too,

 

well, yes, but I must admit that the worst thing is that I am going to sell this car, hopefully this summer,,, and there is no need for me to invest big money into the car,,, unfortunately, but that the case,,,, if I would stay with the car, then a combo would be number one choice, no questions...

 

So does anyone have any experience with that ACT combo?

 

I will very soon. will be ordering it monday.

 

I have used ACT stuff in the past and I've always had a very good experience with them. Haven't tried one on this car yet though.
