I have this donor motor that I am going to steal the clutch from since mine is shot beyond belief, I need an opinion on the quality of the clutch, I.E. how much life yet -

That one will be coming out soon if you decide to use it. A new clutch is a minor investment that will last longer than you will have the car, if you treat it right.

Get a kevlar clutch, never replace it again, and chirp 5th.

 

you cant put a different disc on your old pressure plate. itll burn it up in a month.

unless u steal the old PP that went with that old shitty clutch.

 

That clutch looks worn.

 

Ok, these are my replies -

Minor investment to a college student is a relative term But I am looking at something around a Clutch Masters Stage 3 -- OR a competitors equivalent.

A month is all I would need and I would be using the PP and the Flywheel off the donor motor.

That's what I have and I love it. Oh, and I'm a starving college student as well. You gotta pay to play.

 

its hard to tell how used the clutch without a pic from the side... you should consider taking a pic with a guage or something that can give an indication as to how much meat is left. from the pics, it looks like this clutch would last longer then a month.

What I would do if i were you is clean it up with lots of carb cleaner, clean up the pressure plate really good and clean up the flywheel really well. if the flywheel is grooved, bring it to a machine shop for smoothing - if the pp is not grooved (shouldnt be) go nuts and use it.

no reason to switch to a new parts if yours has life left in it and your budget conscious.
