usually a new clutch and a resurfaced flywheel is all you need. Good idea to check your slave/master cylinders too, but if they are ok, no need to change them. You can get a flywheel resurfaced at most repair shops, i heard some NAPA auto parts stores do them also.

I would go with a standard Exedy clutch. I have one. It's a stock setup and stock feel, but its "tougher" than the honda clutch. I like it

sounds good.. i hear the entire thing costs around like 800 bucks though.. (clutch and labor)... is that really true? cuz thats like expensive up the balls..

a stock clutch will run you no more than $150. If you want a new flywheel that's extra. Resurfacing would be less expensive. Then you've got to/should change the release bearing while you're at it.

It is expensive......the most expensive however WILL be labor. If you're mechanically inclined you should try it yourself.

I did my own clutch/flywheel replacement with no prior experience.....on my own, and it cost me about $300 total...for everything.

I was quoted $500 by one shop just for labor...me bringing my own parts. That quote inspired me to say the least!

BTW | My setup was/is Exedy Cerrametalic Thick w/ Findanza Flywheel.

yeah i think with the help with one other person and some determination........you could bang it out in a day with all the parts there

i did it myself with help from friends and only cost me parts.......exedy organic / fidanza flywheel.........also changed some nuts/bolts that were a lil rusted and the standard ones helms says to change
