Recommended clutch kit for 08 G coupe

My clutch is slipping and I need a new clutch. I need a good clutch with flywheel under 500 bucks. Any ideas?

Under 500 I don't think I ran into the same problem had to change both in an emergency and I got a JWT clutch and flywheel kit for about 700 ish for czp performance because oem is outrageous expensive. In my opinion I wouldn't for with a cheaper clutch because you will have to replace it gain sooner or later

Oh wow. Very nice . I shall be making that purchase tonight. Does the clutch pedal feel like OEM? And does it engage the same. Like does the clutch catch at the same point as an OEM would. Would I feel any difference. Or acceleration difference?

Your going to want to add in the master cylinder oem and I totally recommend the concentric slave cylynder from z speed for 325.00. It's recommended way better than oem and plus it's recommended with aftermarket clutch.

Funny thing is...a week ago my master cylinder took a dump and my clutch went to the floor. So I dropped the tranny a week ago. And change my slave and master. And I got the car 5 days before I did that job. But I didn't think I would have had to replace my disc and crap...so look who is dropping the tranny again...2nd time in a week. My 08 g coupe has 88k miles so it makes sense the disc is roasted

I've had my car 6 months barely right, so I've already replaced clutch, flywheel cost me about 2k or a little under parts included, about 4mo ago my shifter assembly took a dump witch is very rare right only to me and I spend 700 with labor, and I just replaced tires another 700 lol it's been pricey!

Yeah I got a concentric. Just it sucks because I bought the car. Then 4 days after my master and slave took a ****..dumped money. Took 12 hours to install. Now my clutch is slipping and dumping more money and have to lower the trans agaiiin. But it shouldn't take that long because we were having trouble with the master cylinder. It was being a b**** to get it out

Yeah I was getting off the highway. No signs at all it was gonna take a dump. Went to downshift and bam. Clutch went to the floor. And got towed half a mile to my house. Very frustrating

Oh yeah man that sucks well we all learn lol I sure did and I added road side assistance to my geico and I already used the tow truck twice lol it sure it worth it. After Aamco was done with the flywheel and clutch they gave me the car back one block away couldn't put in gear! I was so frustrated took it back and they adjusted the MC and gave it back the next morning
