You can use the same clutch...as long as there is the same number of splins as the out put shaft. personnally i would go and buy yourself a new clutch, but if money is an issue and the clutch is in good order. there is no problem

The ONLY way I would re-use a clutch is if I knew its history and condition (as in, it came out of my car or a close friend's who I would trust completely), knew the real mileage that was on it (not what an eBay seller "said" was on it), and knew for a fact that it was the correct clutch for the year & transmission I needed.

Other than that, I'd pony up the $114 to ClutchCity and get a new Exedy (Daikin) one. After all, I only want to put that bitch in there ONCE, at least for now!
