I'm rarely on this forum... but i need some help from you guys.

I own 2 cars...

06 sti as my fun car, and a 94 civic hatch as my daily driver.

the hatch has almost 112,000 miles on it, there has been a b16 engine dropped into her who knows how long ago. and it makes a weird chirping sound when the clutch is NOT pressed. when i press the clutch in, the chirping sound goes away. I have researched this and found that it is most likely the fork-pivot ball/joint that is going out. My clutch and flywheel also seem to be in need of a replacement as well. And this is where I need your help.

What kind of parts should I get, and where from. I will not be putting these in myself, but a mechanic who is a friend of mine is going to help out.

Please suggest some reliable but not too expensive brands for me please.

Here's the parts i need

Clutch
Flywheel
Fork/Pivot ball

Any other suggestions about replacing things while the tranny is dropped?

Also please keep in mind that this is my daily driver. I have no intent of racing this car whatsoever... . . that is what the STI is for (autocross).

sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for the help

bump for help ???

 

if your not looking performance wise, then y not just get oem replacement parts.

Whats the big deal. Go to ur autoparts store and pick a kit up.

 

how cheap is the oem compared to performance parts. will normal daily driving affect the longevity of either kind more?? I'm not saying i'm cheap... but there's no sense in me putting in a racing clutch/flywheel etc, when i don't intend on racing the car.

 

how about you go to kragen/napa/autozone and ask for prices, i'm sure it'll be faster and more accurate than asking on here...
