neww clutch

So my mom borrowed my car and messed up my clutch. Its still kind of okay, but its slipping a little in fifth, and its slowly starting to slip in some of the lower gears, so I have a little bit of time before i need to get a new one. And i was just wondering if anyone knew of possibly a cheaper place to get the work done than at the dealership? Any feedback would be phenomenal.

KevinD is your friend.

Oddly enough I let my mother drive my car once and it came back smelling of clutch. Not a happy day, but 25k miles later it still grips great.

+1...................... Kevin D. installed my brand new clutch and he did a great job! His website is http://evodynamics.com/ and it has all his pricing info also. I think it's $450 + tax for the 5 speed and $550.00 + tax for the 6 speed. Kevin is definitely the man for the job.

Kevin just installed my new clutch today. Kinda different, but it was definitely an experience having to remove 100 million things to get it out!

the out the door price is 525 for the 5 speed cars, and 625 for the 6 speed cars. thats labor, fluids and tax. if you need any advice on what clutch to get for it give me a call, my numbers in my signature. there are a lot of options, depending on your price range and what your goals are for the car.
