Default Replace Clutch?

well, my mod "wants" list is slowly starting to shrink. i just don't have the hunger anymore. thoughts of gettin married and a house will do that. i still want to do a flywheel though, but was wonderin if u guys would still do a clutch while u're in there. i don't think i'm goin to b addin any more power, mayb cams, but it is highly doubtful. in the distant future, i want to do 3.9's and an lsd. that will probably b it for me, however. what do u think? thanks.

I would with the tranny seperated. Just choose something that is streetable, and not annoying to drive.

would the grab b that much better? well, i know it would b. what clutch could i even get that wouldn't b overkill? i mean, a jwt holds way more than i need, and i don't think u should go too much over what u need in terms of clamping.

For exactly the reason above (you are already there), I had a NISMO clutch and plate installed when I had my JWT low-inertia aluminum flywheel installed. If I had it to do over, I would save the money from the clutch. But, the flywheel is an outstanding modification.

Even if you put another stock one in. The clutch is cheap, the labor is what is annoying, and pricey. I am not sure what exedy makes for this car, but for other cars they have organic discs that feel awesome. Just get something mild, and for street use.

What if you do the flywheel, and a month later your clutch starts to slip, would you kick yourself in the ***?

How many miles on the car?
