Chances are your going to get a lot of people telling you to search. How many miles did you get out of the first one?

Oh man, I hope this doesn't happen too me. Why such a short life span? Did you launch the car? please more details. I would really like to know that's of course if you are willing to share.

I don't want to start a flamefest, and I'll warn all others not to get out of control here. **EDIT** Thanks for sharing.

2500 miles?! I recall someone who only got 1500 miles out of his clutch, but your mileage has to be in the Top 10.

I'd stick with the OEM clutch,you might need a flywheel too, cause i've been hearing too many bad things about aftermarket clutches... rattling, noises, bogging, etc. but hey its your call!!!! just be sure to break it in properly..
