Default Clutch Sugestions

I belive my throwout bearing is getting worn when I replace it I am going replace the clutch while I have the transmission out. What clutches do you reccomend i would like it to behave like stock and avoid chatter if possible. It is my daily driver I dont plan on doing many major mods for a while so supporting high horsepower isnt needed.
Thanks, Tyler

Just get a stock clutch and resurface your flywheel. Replace your T.O.B. and pilot bearing with FRPP.

Check your clutch fork and pivot ball and replace if it shows any signs of wear.

Make sure your flywheel, clutch disc and p.p. is cleaned off with brake cleaner before installing.

a stock replacement will do fine for you. replace the clutch cable and quadrant as well (clutch cable is a must, the quadrant makes the clutch engagement so much crisper).

frpp throwout bearing and pilot bearing as well.

and if you want to spend a little extra money, centerforce dual friction. best clutch in the world.

I was looking into a spec stage 1 clutch but I have read a lot of bad reviews on them. Who sells the centerforce clutches for our cars everywhere I know only deals spec and ram. I also had planned on getting the cable and double hook quadrant from AM.

Performance International Autoparts sells the Centerforce D.F. for about $350. Shipping was pretty quick too!

Yeah screw Spec clutches my Spec Stage 2 clutch disc failed in 5K miles
of normal driving and yes I did the break in that Spec recommends.
Also the customer service at Spec is absolutely horrible.Don't try to
warranty a Spec clutch because they will say it is always your fault and
shaft you.
I would look into getting a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch that is the
clutch I replaced my failed Spec clutch with.I must say that my Centerforce
Dual Friction clutch is the best clutch I ever had!
Also the customer service at Centerforce was excellent!
I got my Centerforce clutch from Performance International Autoparts.
