now when its cold in the morning my car barely moves and eventually it gets going. getting on the onramp is sooo fun! omghi2u speedracer!

anyways i need a clutch in the next few days.... everything i found is hella bank compared to what i can afford.. im almost taking the bus...

so i am looking on ebay (ya i know ebay can be bad mmk)
but i found this clutch below.
it is an exedy that is a replacement for original clutch, so i am guessing its not some amazing high power clutch, which is ok as i am only about 200 at the wheels.

this ebay store has amazing feed back.. about 13,000 feedback posts, 100% positive.. appears this is a store so they seem a bit more trustworthy than some random seller, and they have contact info, 1800 number address and all that on their posting.

what do you guys think? this clutch is only 173+shipping and probably tax. it says it comes with

EXEDY Pressure Plate (Made in Japan)

EXEDY Clutch Disc (Made in Japan)

Release Bearing (Made in Japan)

Pilot Bearing

Alignment Tool

and i believe that is everything i need.

let me know what you guys think. good deal, not good deal.. im thinking good deal.

which exedy is that?

Exedy makes our stock clutches.

 

the clutch isnt the problem, its the $450+ labor charge

 

sounds legit to me!

 

yeah, i am gonna install this myself with the help of a mechanic friend. i would like a subaru guy to help me, but this guy works in a shop and does this kind of work all day so it shouldnt be too tricky.
he is gonna do it for the price of beer and pizza, but i am gonna pay him cause its not right to do a job like this especially, for free.

 

I was thinking about doing it with the help of a friend of mine but decided that I like that friend too much to torture him through that.

Yeah the parts aren't that bad...the labor is like....DAMN!!!!!! but hey they charge closer to $750 at the dealerships for labor. F that isht.

 

yeah so much cash, and the dealership marks up the parts hella.

 

ive herd that act clutch's are way better, this guy that go's to the eggettes meet shawn i think is his name replaced his clutch with and exedy burnt it up in 3 days replaced it again with an ACT and its been like 5 months i think no problems (with that clutch that is)

 

well LIC, suggested Exedy, and so did about 15 guys on another board. and i heard ACT can be mushy feeling and i really dont want that. plus this isnt gonna be my clutch for the next 2 years or something, its my clutch until i can afford a new drivetrain. i have never done an autocross or track day so i am not worried.

 

i believe Smitty has an Exedy steup, and he always raves about it.

 

doesnt exedy make act's disc's? isnt it just a different pressure plate? btw, act's have alot stiffer pedal feel than exedy's

 

then i suggest going with the ebay deal, its a good price for sure

 

+1 for exedy, less chatter and like 5lbs lighter !!!

 

I've had ACT recommended by LIC and had many guys on the board recommend it as well. Basically it's a toss up as far as I'm concerned. Both are gonna do you just fine.

 

+1 for LIC
+1 for ebay
+1 for exedy
