I was thinkning of replacing my stock. Do the kits include everything you need? This is my first manual car, so i dont know to much about them. Any help would be appreciated

 

A lot of kits do but you have to read there description to make sure. Make sure it has a clutch,presure plate,and throw out bearing. You should pick up a pilot bearing also very cheap and your already in there just make everything new. Also if your doing it your self get a kit that has an alignment tool.

 

Should i also replace the flywheel? How long before those good bad?

 

You should have it resurfaced. Most AP stores that have a machine shop can do it. I paid $35 when I did mine

 

You should replace flywheel with a lighter one. Dont get a cheap one, get a light racing flywheel. That wheel make your engine rev better and improve engine braking. Youll have changed launching though, now youll have to add throttle as you take off, simply relesing clutch slowly will make you stall. Get it if you into road racing, it is very cheap way to increase fun factor.



Another thing, while you at it, change your pedal layout. Stock locations dont allow for heal toe. I wonder if there is a kit for that?

If no kit it could be done with some fab.

 

OK cool, i assumed they would wear out over period of time. How long do clutches usually last? Mine has 40,000 mils on it. Or does it depend of the style of driving?
