17,000 miles and bye bye clutch

so, check it out i just hit 17,200 miles and my clutch is slipping and im hitting wierd rev's on the highway even while driving normally.

I've been told its the clutch.. but i did get a congrats on making it this far.. anyways

I need help on getting a new but i cant do the exedy stage 2 HD .... 2800 bucks na..

Probably the ACT HD pressure plate and street disc would work, if you plan on making over 500 hp or lots of low end torque then using a sprung 6 puck would work but is somewhat tricker for daily driving until you get used to it not taking kindly to being slipped.

What part didn't you understand? A clutch job involves three pieces: a pressure plate, a disc, and the flywheel. You can resurface the stock flywheel and re-use it if you're on a budget.

I'm guessing something like an ACT HD w/street disc or a Spec 2+ would be appropriate for you. If you don't know what a six puck is then you definitely don't want one.

Bad idea. The Xtreme pressure plates will break the stock master cylinder unless you upgrade it. I think you'd be best off finding a local performance shop and having them order what you need.

I'd guess that these two would be good choices. MAP can usually give you better prices if you call them than what they show online.

Depends on how you drive. Like Hiboost said, you could go with a six-puck sprung disc but be aware that they take some getting use to...they don't slip so it's more like on/off.

Mine just broke this weekend and it sucks... Maybe something to consider adding to your clutch replacement budget

well judging from what the guy said, sounds like it's his first manual...probably wasn't...um, using the clutch in the most efficient manner.
