I can has new clutch?
So my clutch started slipping the other day and now its just lame. I can barely press the gas without it slipping. I have the Exedy organic that I purchased from Gruppe-s with their LW flywheel about 2 years and 20k miles ago. I am thinking about going back to my stock flywheel and getting rid of the LW. I just don't know if I am getting much benefit out of it for the added driving hassle and noise.
Where is a good place in town to resurface a flywheel for a reasonable price?
Do I need to buy an entire new clutch kit or can I get away with a new clutch disc and throw out bearing? I ask because on ebay I found a clutch kit for $200 shipped or just the clutch disc for $57 shipped + whatever I have to pay for a new throw out bearing.
Are all throw out bearings created equal or should I get OEM if it works? I am sertain that my throw out bearing went bad a couple thousand miles ago due to different sounds that its been making while shifting or sitting with the clutch disengaged. Also, I never posted the picture but, when I removed my transmission I noticed that my throw out bearing was missing half of one of the arms. So if we were playing barrel of monkeys and my T.O. bearing was a monkey it would have one arm broken off at the elbow. I assume that probably added to extra rattling noise I have been hearing when the clutch is disengaged.
Let me know if you have any ideas because I would like to take care of this before I go down to LA in a few weeks.
