upgrade! you can get better after market clutch kits for around the same price as a stock one. you may need the pressure plate and clutch disc, hard to tell unless you pull it off.

clutchmasters, centerforce, act, mazda racing (the one i'm going with). any of those will last longer than the stock oem one and definitely give you the good feeling clutch and hold the power! i just search google for their sites.

Pedal feels same as stock. I bet driving it the clutch will be more of an on/off switch instead of a gradual thing, but I havn't driven it yet since my turbo setup isn't done
