JWT is good. Any particular reason for upgrading the clutch?

Is there any other good ones but won't make a hole in my wallet Joe? 7 bills is a SXXX load of money for me...

There are plenty of options available, but the question is: do you need it? First, try adjusting and changing the clutch fluid. If it's still acting up, then look to replace. However, if you're slipping then you need a new clutch.

ACT, Stillen, Centerforce, NISMO are all good brands...usually cheaper than OEM replacement. Check pricing online.

i wanted a new clutch because i am often getting slippage and sometimes the pedal wont come up all the way. i see now that this is a common problem and my not be the clutch. Anyone know what this is? also sometimes at idle the car clicks and kicks a little, i don't think its the engine because the rpm's don't move at all.

decent idea Actually looked at this fluid today while installing my new hood dampeners (which by the way, are worth every penny!) the fluid looked a little brown. but nothing like the guy in the DIY's pictures heheh. Ill give it a good flushing tomorrow and still how that feels

ohhh, don't get me started on the hood dampener thing! I can't believe that a 40k car doesn't have it standard! At least the new sedan and 08 coupe will have it...better late then never!
