Default clutch help

My clutch is starting to chatter a bit. Anyone recommend a kit? Money is kind of tight so i cant afford something more than 250. College is killing my wallet. Any places you guys order from? Thanks guys.

chatter doesnt mean your clutch is bad.. it just means your not driving it right, or its misadjusted

yea...and the pilot bearing and alignment tool...go ahead and save yourself a headache....while the flywheel is off to be turned or replaced...change the rear main seal....take 5 more mins and $10 more. well worth it!
