Advice needed on Clutch, CSC, RJM
Advice needed on Clutch, CSC, RJM
OK, I'm at 103K miles and I'll be need a clutch in the very near future, it's starting to slip at higher speeds. At WOT, the rpms jumps 1-1.5k then fall and the car accelerates. So, after doing some research, I have decided to go with Luk clutch and flywheel. It basically a stock replacement but without the ridiculous dealer price tag. I am perfectly fine with basically a stock clutch and price is my main factor while avoiding complete crap from ebay or the like. I'm never going to go beyond i/h/e for performance so I'm pretty sure this should be more than fine for my needs and expectations. I found this flywheel/clutch combo for 563$ shipped. Now, I had my CSC and MC replaced a little less than 20K miles ago with oem parts and I installed the RJM clutch pedal around 2k miles after the CSC/MC replacement. Now is there a point to replace the CSC again since they're so prone to failure? I know that the RJM pedal is supposed to help with the wear of the csc so I'm leaning towards keeping the CSC. Labor is a small issue as I have a place to drop the trans and the necessary help if I'll need it. In hindsight I probably should have replaced the clutch with the csc and the csc with an hd csc at the time but as I said, price is/was a priority and what's done is done. Before I go ahead and pull the trigger on ordering the parts, I'd love to hear any thoughts and/or advice on the whole thing. Also, thoughts about resurfacing the stock flywheel?
Thanks in advance
