Default Clutch Replacement

Can any one tell me how difficult it is to replace the clutch. Also are there any opinions as to the type or brand of clutch to install?

I believe that mine is on it's last leg and needs to be replaced before spring.

I recommend the act street version of their clutch! or the act pressure plate and the OEM disk is highly praised as well.

It's not the easiest car to change a clutch on, I did it in my own garage on jack stands. Took me the better part of a day to change mine. If you have any questions if you decide to do it, shoot me a PM.

I have done plenty. I recommend ACT Pressure plate and OEM disk and TOB if you are running stock power.

I have the ACT HD clutch and pressure plate (full disk, not pucks) i put had it put in before i installed my supercharger and it works very well. It's just much stiffer with the Heavy Duty Springs and such, so the OEM disk would probably be a good combo for you. Just like Bullitt44 said.

I did this with my car jacked up 2 feet on my garage floor and it was tons of fun.

How many miles on your OEM clutch, that it needs changed already in <3 years?

52k. It is slipping when the clutch is hot.
