Do yourself a favor. Dont waste your money on a ****ty brand and dont cheap out or youll pay for it later. If you can try and drive the car and save up, because its well worth it in the long run

Hey man dont hate on rich people. And no we arent rich, thats just an incredibly ignorant thing to say.

ACT is by far the best. I recomend getting an ACT 2600 clutch with a full face street disc. Save up man, a clutch is not something you want to cheap out on

in response to Jason, yes i am doin the work myself, and i have not changed a clutch before but i have removed all of the clutch flywheel ect. when i changed the rear main seal, so there cant be much more to it.. my step dad is gonna scrub down the flywheel with steel wool.

Sebba, i dont hate rich people, i hate rich people that dont understand what it is like to be poor. And thank you for actually telling me a brand name, i will take that into consideration, but i definately cannot get a ACT this time, i know i should but i just cant afford it. I will save up my money for when this crap one goes out and by then i will be in college and working, hopfully i will afford it then.

dud i doubt that any of us on here are considered rich, otherwise we wouldnt be on a dsm forum, haha. But i know exactly what its like, so dont come with that crap. Because its about managing money.I worked my *** off in school and working at target to try and pay my bills for 4 years. But saved up as much as i could. So dont start talking like you know any of us, or you think you know where we come from.

Now if you want an answer to your question. I dont know how you can get a clutch kit for $100 unless all you are getting is the disc. And i have never heard of either of those but they sound like your typical autozone brand. Im either will work, but just not sure how long

thanx man, i dont want yall to feel like i am being a jerk or nothing, i just get frustrated cuz yall tell me to go buy this and that but the this and that you tell me, yes they are good quality, but i cant afford good quality. I appreciate all help i get from you guys, yall know what your talking about, and i guess i am going to risk it with a sh*t clutch and just work my *** off replacing it again when it goes bad. thanx again
