My clutch has gone out on my 8 and the shop wants to charge over $700 for a new kit. I know I can get a better price online or pretty much anywhere, but I don't know anything about clutch kits and am afraid I will buy the wrong one. I found an EXEDY kit on Amazon and was thinking of grabbing that for about $350 and having the shop put it in. I'd do it myself but I don't have the proper equipment at all.

Anyone have any advice at all on what I should be looking at, or can put me in the right direction? I could also take this opportunity to have them replace the flywheel as well.

Thanks for any help.

 

I've been looking into swapping out my clutch too. Still looking around myself, but I do recommend getting one with a lightweight flywheel. A nice little hp bonus. I'm definitely interested to see what more experienced users recommend.

 

Screw Amazon, Support the forum vendors. Either BHR or Mazmart will be able to sell you the clutch you need. BHR\Spec flywheel is also extremely nice.

They have both served me extremely well and have a great customer service.

 

If you don know what your looking for, then regardless of tool availability something's screams you wouldn't be able to instal it.

 

Thanks for that encouragement bud, we all start somewhere right?

 

Can they ship in the next day or two? This is my daily driver, so I really can't wait very long.

 

You should contact them and ask but... since you never did it before as per the above quotes i'd seriously consider bringing it to a mechanic. It's a 3 hours job if you take your time and have access to a lift. It may become a nightmare for a first timer with no mechanical skills and an aversion to workshop manuals.

 

Also, I don't see a BHR forum?

 

Correct. BHR opts for the level of forum vendor status just below the level that gives them their own subforum.

You must have missed it, I'm not doing it myself, I said I'm taking it to a shop...i just want to get it cheaper than them, and have them put it in.

 

Thanks!
