My clutch took a dump yesterday,i've bought a street/
performance clutch from RP online, now the milage is
one hundred and thirty thousand miles , i'm not planing
on having the clutch balanced, i understand balancing
and it's importince for longativity, i don't expect the
engine to last much longer.i'd like to maybe rebuild it
BEFORE it's shot out or with broken parts , do you think
the clutch would be OK NOT balancing it now

You might expect it to last longer than you think... Mine has 189k and still runs great.. just a thought

I have never balanced a clutch, nor heard of anyone balancing a clutch. Engine assemblies yes, clutches no.

Sure,anything that spins,spins better when balanced,
(example) a flywheel, one gram of weight (out) will
equel 60 lbs. of outward force at 6,000 RPM's I read
somewhere that if a rotory engine clutch not aliagn'ed
right can ruin the stationery gears and ecc.shaft bearings.but i think if a clutch is not right,the transmission will not alaign ,to install,,i'm sure the old
clutch is the org. from 1982.my car has never been
apart..i'm just wondering,,so i ask

Clutches and pressure plates should come zero balanced already.
