The main aftermarket drivetrain company I've seen for the V6 would be SPEC. You could get a new clutch/flywheel from there for roughly around ~$800

First determine if you really need clutch. If you're new to driving a manual trans then maybe you've worn it out, otherwise it should last the life of the car if you drive it right and haven't made any major power adder mods.
I've been shopping around for a new one that will hold up to the added power from the nitrous and have decided on the Centerforce Dual Friction over the Spec Stage 2. It holds more power and I feel more comfortable w/ the Centerforce brand. If you do need a new clutch checkout Performance International. Tthey have the lowest prices I've found so far. I've never heard of them so I'm not endorsing them and if any one has any feedback on their service I would like to hear it.

Well, mine has 42 on it and I have had it to the track but only about 3 times and 3 runs each. I am having my doubt on mine, it acts kinda funny sometimes but the trans are wierd shifting anyways with that crappy remote shifter placement. It doesnt help that I think my car was a rental car before I got it, and it had bald tires so. I am not a newbie at a clutch so I dont wanna hear that

hard going into gear? like engaging too low? probably a hydraulic problem.

i beat the **** out of my car at the track, and it took over 30k miles to toast my stock clutch.

In my old 2006 coupe, my clutch was starting to become suspect, so I replaced it with a SPEC2, slave cylinder, and t-o bearing. Although I liked how it performed, it did end up chattering at low idle. So I bumped up my idle speeds with my SCT Xcal2 and the problem was fixed.
