Default my clutch...

so lately my clutch has been smelling really strong and bad, but i didnt really think anything of it. after that i tried to drive my car to work and it wouldnt even move, i had to rev it up to around 4k just to roll. so im assuming my clutch is worn out... this is happening to me at about 30k miles. im sure warranty wouldnt cover it since its a wear n tear item. what kind of clutch should i get or should i stay with oem?

where does your clutch grab, as far of on your pedal. If its at the very top, you may be able to adjust the pedal so that it catches lower, and engages the clutch disk better. This may save you for a little while.

If not, jwt has a really nice flywheel and clutch combo!

Be careful with your ride. I had the same problem and I went to drive the car to the dealership like a bonehead instead of getting it towed. Long story short, the flywheel was damaged also. I think the previous owner of the car f**&ed it up royally and I just made it worse. I bought a fidanza flywheel and went with a stock clutch. However, I would go with a nice combo kit like an act clutch with fidanza flywheel or something like that. They have some good deals online. I bought my flywheel from ultimatez.com. It was around four hundred including shipping. But, make sure you tell them you have a 350 and emphasize it again because they sent me a 300 flywheel at first. Good luck
