SCMP3, welcome to the forum, and it sounds like you got a great deal... (I think, I haven't checked prices in a long time!)
I just noticed something new the other night, and I think I may need to replace my clutch. Under heavy acceleration - getting up to speed from the on-ramp, passing on the highway, etc. - the car revs higher than it used to without a corresponding increase in speed. The revs slowly come down after a second and the car catches up and settles in. If I accelerate slowly, things seem fine, but if I put my foot down (I noticed it in 4th, 5th, and 6th I think) the revs come up fast and the acceleration isn't there to match. Is my clutch on the way out? Should I be worried about flywheel?
If it is time to replace it, any recommendations? This is our daily drive, no power mods, maybe a few trips down the 1/4 mile every other year.
- OEM (expensive but 100% fit?)
- ACT (old standby, may be questionable quality? requires more than clutch replacement?)
- SPEC (another old standby)
- Eagle Motorsports (a recent OEM alternative)
- ClutchMasters (more high power oriented? requires more than clutch replacement?)
I just want the most straightforward, economical (i.e. cheap) replacement I can get, if I don't need to mess with pressure plate, fly, etc., I'd rather not.
