If it doesn't look warped then I can go without a resurface right?

Why don't you get a brand new clutch, that isn't gay and is only a few $ more?

ACT makes great products and stand behind them, but I wouldent get a ussed one, when you can find new ones on ebay so cheaply.

A used clutch with alots of meat left on the disc is as good as a brand new clutch to my eyes with less cost too.

I've had no less than 3 friends with ACT clutches, and all three of them developed transmission problems (bearing failures) within a few months of owning the clutch. Now, your experiences may be different and thats fine, i'm just speaking from what I know. My theory is that ACT's pressure plates are too stiff for the street and put unneeded stress on internal transmission parts.

I'm an idiot because i've seen what ACT clutches do to transmissions first hand? Okay. You're the one who wants to buy a USED clutch, and doesn't know how to differentiate between their and there.

your stupid. one for your arguement, and two for expletiving a moderator when your only a nubstar.

why would you buy a used clutch when you can buy a brand new one for 19 dollar more that is better IMO, but in others opinions the same great quality.

all we were donig is giving what you asked, our own opinions and input, then you go off expletiving everyone when we give it to you

Wahhh, a simple "you're right" would have done but you just have a knack for digging yourself bigger holes don't you?
