It really depends on the condition of the clutch and how it was driven. I would recommend you to go with a new clutch since you never know if the clutch has been abused or not. Any clutch can be destroyed within a day due to improper usage.

I am having a great christmas deal on the ACT street w/CCI flywheel setup.

Thanks,
Tom

does it incude the flywheel? I believe the twin discs can be sent to exedy and they can rebuild them. If the rebuilds are cheap your looking at a great deal. Twin discs are 1k+

if the material is gone but everything else is ok it should be rebuildable. Tilton charges like 200-400 I think exedy should be around the same. I would jump on this clutch in a heartbeat Tomorrow you gotta try my clutch and let me know what you think.

$300 is pretty cheap for an Exedy twin. Even if you needed to freshen it up, I think you would be ahead. See if you can get to see the parts and verify the condition.
