Default Replacing clutch What one should i get

I pulled the motor in my car due to a loud knock (Bent valve). While its out i want to change the clutch because it was starting to slip. It currently has a spec 1. Should i get the spec 2 and where is the best place to order it from?

just get the stage 3. it's only a few bucks more. it's not much stiffer than your stock clutch.

Im not sure if I like my stage 3 spec clutch. Ive had it for a month now.The puck design makes it so you really cant slip the clutch out when starting off regular. I kinda have to take-off everytime, my girlfriend doesnt like that EVERY time. Sometimes it will catch at different pedal heights too. I was going for the stage 2 but the shop I went to said they sell so many of the 3's with great responses. I would have not gone with the puck design clutch unless its a track only car.

Hope I helped.

It's not a 3650, unless its been changed. If you have a 2000GT 5spd, it came with a T-45. No question
