Clutch

I think my clutch is slipping and im only at 50K miles. Is this normal? I dont drive recklessly but this is my first manual car so I might have worn it out pretty quick. My car isnt responding once I shift into gear and gas it...This is probably my clutch right? Also my clutch pedal get stuck sometimes after driving hard...Any input?

if your rpm is climbing but u arent going anywhere then ure clutch is done. I have a new ACT clutch and flywheel for sale if ure interested. Also it feels similar to stock but has a lot of bite so u should never have to change another clutch out again.

My RPM climbs then it drops back down couple revolutions...How much are you selling the clutch kit for?

Would an XTD Stage 2 Clutch/Flywheel from eBay be a bad idea? Not trying to hijack I just don't want to start thread #283957012938 about clutches.

means it can handle +500whp/455lb tq so it can handle whatever abuse to it and still drive in traffic like a stock clutch would.

sorry to say it's a piece of trash. OEM clutch would be better than this. U get what u pay.

If u look up ACT HDSS/Flywheel, ebay sells it for $550 for just the clutch and $330 for the flywheel... That's 880 + shipping for the same items I have and I'm asking 760 SHIPPED.

If your clutch is slipping and it goes out your going to prob have to replace the flywheel just to let you know it will have burn marks all over and be scratched up from the pressure plate. Also the stock flywheels cannot be resurfaced.
