sounds like your throw-out bearing took a sh*t. i don't think it's your clutch. you're pedal wouldn't do that. you might want to get that checked out so you could save some money and wait on the new clutch. but if your clutch did go, and you got the money, def. go with the Exedy twin disc. very popular and from what i've heard, it holds up great.

or........ you could find a ACT HD at AMS's swap meet for dirt cheap ($400 bucks brand new) and do the clutch yourself ; ) haha that'll save you a crap load. the ACT is rather cheap and it's been holding up great for me. i got about 7k and going strong. GL

 

I had the 3.2 in my 8 with basic bolt ons for about 18k miles. At first there is some shuttering at the begining of the break in period of 300-500 city miles but after that it was almost as smooth as stock and pedal pressure was about the same. I tracked it a few weekends and drove it in a "fun" demeanor. I was definitely impressed with it and the 4 puck design is done to provide proper cooling for the kevlar material and has less rotational mass as they say
