starting to take next to ZERO force to put it in, so i think it's about time to replace it. what kind of clutch should i order that would work the best for my lude?

are you sure your master or slave cylinder isn't busted?? Has this been a long running problem or just recently started?

yah...like yield said, suddenly having little to no pressure in the clutch pedal is most likely not a clutch problem, but a slave or master leak. check your reservoir to see if the fluid level is low. if it is, refill, bleed the clutch, see how it feels and re-check the level in a few days. if the level once again drops, or you still find the clutch pedal to be soft, then replace the slave.

if your clutch is worn then obviously you are looking at a clutch replacement

oh it's an old problem, it's been there for a long time, it's about time for the clutch to be replaced. it's not a matter of if it's wacked or not, i know it is, i was just wondering what kind of clutch you guys would suggest i replace it with, i know im looking at around 200 dollars worth of clutch and 100 bucks worth of installation already.

more like 100 bucks for an oem replacement clutch and at least 400$ for labor, probly more....

ya, lotsa labor. Do you just want a stock replacement or a little upgrade. Exedy has a relatively cheap upgrade, ACT and clutchmasters are around $300 or more.

I had an ACT street/strip put in for $500. Really good clutch for daily driving except I have to replace some engine mounts now because I have let the clutch grip a few times...hehe
