Well now I am thinking since I already have a bad auto trans, not to fool with the spare auto I have and collect the parts for the 5 spd swap and just get it over with. Has anyone had any exp with these clutches?

It is actually a little cheaper then stock. I don't plan on making any huge power with this car so stock or close to it will do fine.

No experience with that company.

Exedy has one for about the same price and Exedy is a trusted name brand.

+1 for Excedy OEM Clutch. Get a lightened flywheel (around 14lb) and you will love your new car!

I'm using this clutch and like it. It grabs great, lets engine rev up quick. It is a bit noisy because of flywheel and takes some talent to drive in traffic, but will put up with abuse.

It includes flywheel (very lightweight) too.
Not sure about a clutch for under $100.00.
Good Luck.

This thing is gong to be daily driver status and never really have more then 250hp at most.. Thanks for the link but I really dont see a point to spend a grand on a clutch/flywheel for a low hp S13. it looks great but way out of the price range..

A grand for a clutch, hell no. (edit at least it does include flywheel)

If you every need more grip in the clutch I'm a fan of SPEC for low hp/tq and ACT for higher power. My ACT is having no issues on my KA-T so far.

My friend has a spec in his s14 on a lightened flywheel. Feels awesome.
