Hey guys well finally my stock clutch gave out (well started slipping) at 61K. I already bought a lightened flywheel and throw out bearing, but still need to buy a clutch kit. I am looking at this one (The one all the way to the bottom):

So I am pretty excited even though this is costing me quite a bit of money.
Lastly, I was wondering how many miles can I drive before it fully gives out because I don't know if I will have the time to change it until next month some time. Take into consideration I won't be driving hard all, now that I know it is slipping. In addition, I will be putting some miles on it (including some hills hwy 152 in CA) before I have time to do it myself.

If it doesn't seem feasible to drive it that long I guess I will have to have a shop do it for me while I am at work.

 

hopefully this is the right part number because I am going to place an order tomorrow

 

any reason why you feel you need to go with the extreem duty clutch? how much power are you making (i assume youre turbo)?

 

Yea I am turboed.

 

but are you really making over 320 ft/lbs or torque? i really think the heavy duty clutch and pressure plate would work just fine for you. they still hold up to 308 ft/lbs of torque and are much less money. but to answer your original question, yes that clutch will work. any clutch that fits the 1.8 mirage will fit our car.

 

but might as well get the big kit to be able to cope if he wants more power

 

That is what I originally thought but I got a little confused after reading so many threads. In all actuality I also read of a model specific number for our cars which was mB8-xtss instead of the mB3-xtss.

Also, the reason why I was thinking the xtreme is, just like animal said, I might be expanding my horizons on this car. I guess, the more important question, is when.

 

Just got a cofirmation from act that it is a go. Order is being place right now.

 

but thats still only a 15hp difference. if you are truly looking to go higher than what the heavy duty can handle, why not look for something even stronger than the xxtreem?

 

Let's say I have big plans down the line. If that isn't enough, I guess I want a buff left leg, heh heh.

 

what brand street performance clutch is good that wont break the bank for a college kid i have 50,000 miles on my car

 

You're just going to have to shop around for the best price because they are basically around the same price range, give or take a little.

 

sonuds good hope for the best and i to paid out the rer for my stage one exddy clutch

 

Well I will let you guys know how everything goes. I am still debating on whether I should let someone do it for me because of time issues. I might just see if it can hold until the 10th of next month (that is when my next weekend is off).

Bailey, trying to gather up some posts I see.
