RE: about to buy parts
what a pilot throw out bearing??? last time i checked they have pilot bearings and a throwout bearing but not a pilot throwout bearing... and even if the kit doesn't have both or what ever one your looking for napa sells pilot bearings for like 5 $ at most and my throwout bearing was the nice one they had which was 45$ but it's a self aligning and looked like it was beefier that the ones that come with kits anyway

yes kevlar clutches are very strong but takes some getting used to, as far as best clutch thats going to be mostly opinion, i personaly only have experience with CF but have heard good things about spec, Mcloed and theres another but i'm drawing a blank on the name right now
BTW nice 94 (possably 95 can't see skirts in the sig.)goosepoop

prolly 3-4 hours labor charge, but expect to pick up the car in about an hour and a half - 2 hours tops.... a clutch is almost as easy as an oil change... if you can rotate your tires properly you can do a clutch

RE: about to buy parts
