Hi guys, great forum you got here. I really don't know much about cars, but I think I'm going to stick with my si for a little while longer, and I need a new clutch badly. It doesn't slip all the time, but when I get on it in any gear and shift, it will start to slip than. When I turn it off and let it cool down it's fine, again until I have to get some power and floor her.

I haven't gotten a quote from a dealer, but I'm positive it will be a hell of a lot cheaper if I buy the clutch kit myself, and just have them install it. My question is what all do I need? I have browsed quickly on ebay and a quick google search and have found these. I am just wondering if this is all I need to buy. Just looking for the cheapest route possible. If you have any websites on where to buy cheapest that would be even better.

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for reading. Links below.

Bump.

Nobody? Awww...

 

Exedy is a typical OEM replacement, so thats likely what the dealer would put on for you. Each clutch kit includes everything you need, except the pressure plate. You can buy a new pressure plate or have yours machined. I found that a pressure plate was like $100 new or $75 to get mine machined, so I bought a new one for $25.

$140 for a new clutch is REALLY cheap. On a standard (non-si) they are like $129. So just buy that one and be done with it.

 

Appreciate the response.


How much did it cost to install the clutch?

 

I did it myself, but most shops in SoCal are in the $300-400 range. Find a local shop that specializes in imports.
