My clutch is starting to slip with 55k on it. I want to upgrade it but not "break the bank" and desire something comparable to the feel of the OEM. I have a 2006 model.

Any recommendations?

I am located in Washington DC. If anyone knows of a place for the install.

Thanks.

None of aftermarket clutch/flywheel price can not beat OEM price.

If your car is just DD, i would stick with OEM tho, that's just my two cents.

 

My RPS clutch and flywheel was A LOT cheaper then OEM

 

How much?

 

JWT Clutch kit + flywheel I have had it for over 2 years with no problems.

 

Welcome. If it looks like the OEM clutch, it will perform similar.


If it looks like above maybe skip it.

 

I went with the ACT Heavy Duty Street Clutch, with ACT Prolite Flywheel...

 

^^^are you experiencing alot of clutch chatter noise? Do you like the performance of the lighter flywheel?

 

I also have same setup as him.
Chatter is loud to me, but not bother me or any tho. Performance? it feels revup faster compare to stock.

 

It does chatter, sometimes quite noticeably, but I love the setup... Yes, it does rev up and down much faster than stock...

 

if you are N/A and don't run nitrous, just get a stocker or a nismo. No reason to "upgrade" if stock feel is what you want

 

I'm needing to do the same thing I think. Dealer claims the horrible squeak that comes from releasing the clutch (sound coming from transmission casing) requires labor that would justify just buying a new clutch.

How much does a new OEM or RPS clutch cost with install? Would I need anything else like a flywheel? Car has 95k miles.

 

RPS will be cheaper than oem. You will need flywheel, clutch, throwout bearing (which is the part that is making the noise) and I would upgrade to a SS clutch line.

 

the OEM is considerably cheaper than RPS. Not to mention the OE clutch can use an OE flywheel, where the RPS requires use of their flywheel

A good, cost effective combo is the Exedy Sport Clutch + ACT flywheel, or the JWT

The flywheel can't be resurfaced, as it's a dual mass unit, but as long as it drive smoothly (no jerking from a dead stop) it could easily be reused.

 

What would the cost be of the combos you mentioned plus install? Where should I buy it and where should get them installed?

As for the flywheel, I believe my OEM should be fine... but I'm not really sure.

 

parts we can easily provide you....we have them all in stock (pm us)

as far as the install goes, ask in your regional forum for some suggested shops

 

Ohh now i see. U dont carry RPS lol i thought this was a actual legitimate post not trying to be a salesman. hmm anyways RPS clutch and flywheel comes with EVERYTHING u need like throw out bearing and was WAY less then what the delaership quoted me and i have a upgraded clutch now and a smoother rev and faster rev and feels A LOT better to me now
