Default NEED ADVICE/OPINIONS

My clutch pedal is very "laggy" coming up off the floor, I changed the slave cylinder and the master cylinder and the same thing. Makes an awful high pitched grinding sound when the clutch is engaged. Clearly a bearing going out. My question is should I replace the disk, resurface the fly wheel and get new bearings, or just new bearings and resurface the flywheel? The clutch is a stage 4, 6 puck with only about 7K miles on it. It engages fine and doesnt slip or anything. Kinda on a budget, not really, just dont wanna spend money on something thats not entirely needed. Thanks

Its hard to say, you will have to decide based on what your findings are when you actually open it up. Although the throw out/pilot bearing will definately need to be changed.

So I got the tranny pulled off, everything looks good. Bearing flows smooth, but thats in my hands without pressure on it, getting a new one tomorrow. What else could make the pedal sluggish comin off the floor and have a hard time going into gear? Wondering if I need a new tranny... Dont want to, its an ITR LSD and they are quite spendy... HELP!!!

This is a FRX400 F1 racing clutch set up. Lasted appx. 2 years on a boosted B16 close to 300 WHP and 200 FT LBs. Ordered an ACT disc sprung 6 puck, resurfacing the OEM flywheel and using the ACT HD pressure plate thats in it now. So for all those F1 clutch questions, $200 bucks, lasted 2 years, for the price not bad, but I think I got lucky in the fact that it lasted 2 years!

Well I installed my new ACT clutch disc, so far no problems... A little noisy but over all pretty good... so far! Havnt really got on it yet to see if it'll holds the power and not slips. Im still babying it around town.
