Clutch died
Hey guys,clutch went. Was wondering who to take it to as I have not had to do any repairs on this car yet. It's a 94 RS with almost 300,000 on it. Who's good and fare can't aford too much. Thx
^^ From the tranny? Mean release bearing?
OP what are your plans for the car? Any mods that would require a beefier clutch? [intake/exhaust doesn't count].
I got my stage 1 clutch from optionJDM for $250 as I recall. Its a competition stage 1 clutch kit. Came with the clutch disk/pressure plate/release bearing/pilot bearing. Don't have anything bad to say about this clutch, put on about 10-15k on it so far. Its been through a beating, has not slipped once. Always grabs strong.
For a place to do it, a small shop would be your best choice as they will not charge per hour but more like a flat rate for this job.
I got lucky, since I know few people I got it done for $200. I heard people pay over 450$ for it.

I have done my research and my plan over all is later to put a b18c in with bolt one and maybe cam and gears. I was think a stage 2 ACT clutch. But now I'm left were should I get it done who won't charge we a ton for a easy job. If it was winter I would be doing it myself.

You dont need a stage 2 clutch, your just wasting your money unless you plan on running 300 hp from the engine. A stage 1 clutch kit will do fine up to about 250 hp.
