Ebay clutch Gripforce is it worth the money if selling my car???
I am looking into buying a cheap ebay clutch from Gripforce clutch. has anyone used one of these and if so how did it work out?
I also found a good price ona Exedy OE replacement clutch for $95 brand new, but i have a boosted gsr w/ 240whp 180torque, will a OE replacement clutch hold up long enough to trade the car into a dealer?

I just had my buddy buy one for his 93 dx hatch. I am doing the install...we'll see what happens
I would never buy one but he is broke so hopefully it works out

just remember what goes around comes around, and if someone sold me a car with something like that done to it i would remove your ********* if and when something happened to it. and thats why i am afraid to buy used things.
just my two cents

ditto, karma is a bitch, atleast put oem exedy and be honest, better off with a quality clutch that might not hold great then a cheap clutch that will snap an possibly destroy your trans and or crank

I learned my lesson with cheap ebay clutches.. 2 weeks after it was installed, the disc broke into pieces and I had to buy a new disc + pay labor to have it fixed (which isn't cheap on a Prelude SH because of the stupid atts). I'm sticking with the name brand stuff from now on.

Re: (bubs)
so basically i am hearing **** ebay clutches and they are pieces of ****. I don't want to put something of poor quality into a very top quality buolt car, however i am NOT selling it to a person, i am trading to a ******* dealer that would probabley do the same bs and sell it to someone else for more and just screw me on a trade in because a bad clutch, ya know?

i bought a Gripforce (clutchnet) stage 3 kit off ebay and it's been holding up just fine. engagement is a little harsh and trying to slip the clutch is just nonexistent. those are my only complaints. worth the money,imo...
do a search on here for gripforce clutches...i remember seeing a few threads in the past reguarding them.
