Take it to RX Performance. They are in Tampa, by Dale Mabry/I275. Their shop manager, Paul, I've known for 10 years now. He's a previous master tech at BMW....

As far as brands go, you can go OEM, JWT, Exedy... just do some research.

For work being done in Tampa, check out Lokey Infiniti, RX Motors, S&R Performance, B2autodesigns... Call around and see who hooks you up the best for install.


If you don't really plan on being aggressive with your car or adding too much more power, then save some money and go with this.

If you plan on adding more N/A power and want the security of a stronger clutch to withstand the future power, then I would go with this.

Lokey is about as cool as you will find with that. They have a performance division and do tons of aftermarket installs themselves. As long as the warentee claim is not directly due to the mod then no worries.

Chattering is caused by the flywheel. Most likely, it will only get worse. ...especially if you go with a lighter flywheel.
