i should be ordering my clutch this week. how much did u pay for your spec matt? and what exactly is it?

2640 is pretty good. I was at 3070 with me in it and a half tank.

I paid ~$600 for for the SD843, stage III from specclutch.com and $79 for the lightened option - weighs 26 lbs for the whole assy.

It's supposed to be guaranteed for life - call them to confirm.

It didn't come with a TO bearing, I called them and they said that the OEM bearing would work fine. They said the pressure plate on this clutch puts less stress on the bearing than the OEM clutch. Things may have changes since though....

When I asked them about it and the light option, here's what they replied with...

"The flywheel is steel. The lightweight option removed 25% of the weight out of the clutch itself. The friction surface on the disc is our new "I" pad, which is an ultra coefficient metallic. Be sure you follow the breakin period.! Let us know if you have any other
questions."

ANyone want to help install it? Beer is cheaper than 3 hours of labor at the dealership

On second thought screw that - a quick search reveals that it's a huge pain in the ass to do and maybe a 4 hour job at best in the garage....

No, I meant that in a good way - I really appreciate the offer.

You're on, maybe sometime towards the end of the month?

w/o me and 1/4 tank of gas. A lot of the interior is out, but I still have both front seats.

jaymzx · 07-06-2004, 02:21 PM

Both seats=88 lbs.

in10se · 07-06-2004, 08:16 PM

o sorry matt took you the wrong way cause i thought i was just offering to help, and i thought u meant like i was being ridiculous, yeah call me up any one that is local im willing to help for future reference, as most of you can probably tell ive been modding my car heavily and i have learned a great deal about this car specifically. although i have been doing neons for 5 years or more and all other venues of motorized transportation including my newest toy....a 38mph goped

PS matt PM me if you want to hook up and do it

kingj07 · 07-07-2004, 12:11 PM

I realized that the kid's private school bills start this month (nore than my car payment :/) I've got to get my head off the car for a while or I'll end up out on the street.....
