Recommendation for shop to replace clutch
 

My 98 GSX has a 6 puck clutch that is really heavy and chatters. Since this is my daily driver I want to have a stock clutch installed.

Any recommendations for a local shop to do the install?

Any idea on what to expect for cost?

Thanks for any advice.

LSE, DB, MAP... they could all do it. Probably expect a clutch job to run 300-400 for labor and flywheel machining. I'd suggest avoiding a stock replacement if you have muc done to the car. Try an aftermarket clutch that isn't such a beast. Like a Southbend unit. I know LSE carried them, and I am sure the other shops could suggest similar setups.

The CFDF is a great clutch, I have one in my car and I like it alot, it feels almost like a stock clutch and its rated around 2500lbs i belive.

southbend DXD is a great clutch stock feel and its a mean street disc

The Centerforce Dual-Friction is a great street clutch, I loved mine. I bought it used, put 30k miles on it (drag racing, street racing, etc.), then sold it to another guy who is still using it!

Is it secretly made my Volkswagen or something? That's pretty amazing.

We have a used southbend laying around that we will let go for cheap!

How cheap?

Re: Recommendation for shop to replace clutch
 

They retail for $505, we would let it go for $300. Pedal pressure is very similar to stock, but can hold additional power if you ever want to.

What southbend clutch do you have kicking around?

Re: Recommendation for shop to replace clutch
 

The gold-plated version. :p

Kyle has one, DXDSS Stage 5.

Go to MAP they are great and like Chris says fast turn around time and fair prices

Re: Recommendation for shop to replace clutch
 

Thanks, I will let you know when I'm ready to commit to getting this job done.
