Clutch went at 40k miles a couple days ago which is perfect timing when I have no money.


Haven't the slightest clue where to start looking online. All stock and probably going to stay that way, so nothing much more than stock is what i'm looking for.


All I want to do is save some money over the $1300 the dealer quoted me at (as expected). Stage 1? OEM somewhere else? give me ideas.

 

the clutch itself should not be more than 500 i think... the TRD one is about 470... so i think a ACT stage 1 would be cheaper. the dealer quote might be a bit expensive.

look around.

 

40K??!?! Yikes!! I hope they are built to last longer than that!

Have you beat up on your clutch or had people learn on it?

Anyway, it may be cheaper to buy parts yourself and have it installed at the local mech if you can't do it yourself. It may pay to get TRD parts as they may be just as costly as new stock parts. You could try used parts or something, but I really wouldn't want to with a clutch.

 

Yeah i know how you feel. dealers here quoted me 1150 installed for factory clutch. THey charged something like 400 for the clutch, and 700 for labor

 

40k miles?!? I hope that isn't ordinary 'cuase I'm coming up on that...I knew I shouldn't have let my old lady drive my car.....

 

i have 33 k on my tc now. feels like the day i bought it. Im replacing mine due to going FI soon = ]

 

um, thanks for the replies? see title, i'm looking for a place to buy a stage 1 kit

 

i think that jsc speed one of the site sponcers here is good when i called about a clutch for my old box the guy i spoke to owens a tc

ive liked exedy clutches in the past, work very well

how did u toast your clutch at 40k? ive got 50k on mine and mines been boosted for the last 20k!

 

I have a bad habbit of leaving intersections in 2nd, and popping it into 2nd while still rolling backwards out of reverse. Plus i've been told I ride the clutch a little longer than I should when shifting, just getting lazy nowadays I guess.

 

Hmmm maybe I should be careful how I drive now because I do the samething that you do but not as much.

 

still looking for websites to buy a clutch off of

and is a flywheel necessary? or just resurface it?

 

Give us a whirl. www.dezod.com

Chances are your flywheel is quite fine considering the age and mileage of the cars on here. Take a look at it, and if it's bad, replace it. If not, resurface away!

 

anyone else before i buy from the guys above?

 

ZPI Racing is the way to go my friend.

 

buy from dezod! you wont regret it! theya re awesome, and as soon as money starts comin in, they will know my card number by heart! :D

 

I don't know what their deal is, I bought the exedy clutch on the 18th, it's now the 25th, and I haven't received anything. Not even an email stating why my package hasn't been shipped yet.

So far, thumbs down for my first and probably only experience with dezod

 

ouch, well it has only been a week. lol, what do u want, next day air included aswell?
