ok so i bought a 99dx hatch about a month ago and today i just wanted to see what she would do for a burnout, so i rev it up (probly to olny likr 4500) and dump it and my clutch slips like hell and of coarse you can deffinitly smell it. now it engauges way later then befor and thers not much feel to it. does this pretty much meen i need a new clutch? ( i know it sounds like a dumb question, but im tryin to stay away from a new clutch)

 

sounds to me that its burnt out, just change it

 

how much is it for a stock clutch? or would u recomend a better one?

 

u can get a exedy oe replacement

 

you dont have to pull the motor do you? and since i already have the tranny open, schould i get a better flywheel?

 

well is this just a daily? not for racing or anything right? no u dont have to pull the motor, u can just resuse your stock fly wheel but make sure to resurface it

how do you go about resurfacing it?

 

You can take the flywheel to most good transmission shops to be resurfaced. Just don't skimp, get a new throwout bearing and pilot bearing too. Changing the clutch is not too hard if you have a place to work on it and decent mechanical skills.

 

Go all new or you won't be happy.

 

schould i get a lighter flywheel? i have no plans on boost

 

gripforce.com and clutchcityonline.com both have the exedy oe replacement clutch kit which has the clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing for around 120.

 

well for like 25$ i can get the stage 1 so ill go with that...beside the flywheel do i need anything else? i was thinking about a lighter flywheel...any coments?

 

I put a 12lb chrome moly flywheel in my EG and it didn't make as much difference as I though it would. The engine revs faster, but aside from that not much change. But, if you have the cash and really want one, get it.
