So, the rex needs a new clutch, BAD. It hardly moves from a stop uphill. So, a few questions for you guys:

The clutch shop down the road wants 325, parts and labor, but I can get one from rx7.com for 150 and put it on myself. How hard is it to do? I've read the Haynes manual, and it seems straight forward, but I've never pulled a trany before.

Is it worth it to go with a higher performance clutch? The car is stock, save a K&N, so it's not putting tons of power out. I do drive it hard, but is the stock clutch sufficient?

Thanks in advance!

 

How long has your stock clutch lasted with you driving it hard? And when you pull the tranny get some help, it's a bitch doing it ur self

 

imo its worth it to put extra $ into a clutch. a stock clutch willl last just fine. but i would reccomend a slightly upgraded presure plate like there street/strip setup. it will have the same engagement as a stocker but will hold alot more and you can slam shift it

 

CenterForce Dual-Friction clutch...it will survive 5500 RPM drop clutch launches at the drag strip and never complain. Try that with the stock clutch...

 

upgrade the clutch and find afriend to help it is not that hard if you just try ,good fun ,save money
