-Newbie clutch question
I have a old 92 civic that has over 160k on it... the clutch is going... I'm not too good with cars so I was wondering if I plan to change the clutch... do I have to buy a whole new clutch kit... or can I just buy a new clutch plate and keep the flywheel... and keep my old pressure plate. The reason I ask is that recently.. when I shift.. it's not very smooth... there's like a grind feeling... I thought it might have to do with the pres. plate or the clutch, or maybe it's just the transmission oil, which I'll change too.
But anyways what do you guys suggest I do? What is normally done? This car is only a daily driver so I don't need any fancy performance clutches.. just any oem replacement or aftermarket that will last me awhile since I commute everyday and I need something reliable, so if anyone can put up some suggestions of what I should get would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help/advice. I was going go to local mechanic ask them but I figured I better try some forum first since you guys are usually more helpful and honest here

IMO, get a clutch kit. The Exedy OEM ones come complete with clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing for less than $150. You can't go wrong there.
Go to:

Great prices and deals.
Keep the stock flywheel, but get it resurfaced. You don't want to damage a new clutch only because you didn't resurface your old flywheel.

yeah youre definately gonna wanna be sure to get the clutch, a new pressure plate, and dont forget to get a new throwout bearing too!
exedy clutches are good for pretty much stock engines, but centerforce and clutchmasters are great clutches for modded out engines (ie. boosted, n/a setup, etc.)
