Clutch Replacement
Hi, I need to replace my clutch really quick and very cheaply. . . Where should I look for a cheap stock or better clutch kit? I looked at rx7.com and mazdatrix already.
Also when I was looking at mazdatrix, I saw a trans gasket that they recommended, should I get that too? Please post any idea's.
Thanks

Let me warn you about going "cheap" on your clutch components. I did that, too, a long time ago (bought some "clutch kit" from my auto parts store that fit), and the sucker only lasted about 30,000 miles (pressure plate went out), now I go only with OEM (or the "upper class" vendors). Climbing under the car to pull the tranny & take care of all that crap is NOT fun, unless you're in to a little masochism. So do it right the first time- get quality parts, and replace everything while you're in there- pilot bearing, throwout bearing, clutch disk/ pressure plate, resurface the flywheel if you wish (at least "clean it up" with some emory cloth or 400/600 grit paper), tranny front cover (if your fork arm pivot "ball" is worn to hell), tranny front & rear seals...

By the way, I am having a shop install it for me, and am going to get a kit, and re do the flywheel. . .

Are you near stock power levels on the car? The amount of power you're putting down is going to determine what "flavor" of clutch you'll want...Stock OEM has worked for me, with intake & exhaust mods...
