Getting a new engine - needs a clutch
 

So, I yelled at the Mazda down here after they wanted some "feedback" about my experiences. Nonetheless, they took my car in for "complimentary services" at which they FINALLY determined my car needs a new engine.

Thank god I bought a warranty - they are covering it and I only need to pay a $100 deductible. Either way, I need a clutch, and figured to do it when they swap the engine as the Mazda tech said they would wave the labor.

What are good clutches / packages to put into the car. I am looking for both the clutch and pressure plate. I do not want something expensive, so the cheaper the better. Also, durability is a great thing to have, I don't need anything over a Stage 1 clutch either, so just a normal street performance clutch should be enough.

So brands/links please.

^ Good answer...lol

the stock clutch is actually pretty hard to beat, they are pretty robust, pedal effort is nice (and enough already to snap the pedal).

You wouldn't need a clutch it you had an auto!

Ummmm, stock? Seriously. If you're not making seriously more hp than stock, the oem clutch is hard to beat.

The only reason I was going to stay away from Mazda clutches / products is the pricing on them. I mean is it not smarter to buy an ACT street performance kit vs the stock Mazda kit where and still save ~$100?
