Default clutch going bye bye

well i think its end is near. When i bought the car you could hear a whine when the clutch pedal was pushed in. I Figure tob... Now (not always) if i build some boost my clutch will slip. I if i pump it once its fine. Its like the tob is getting stuck or something and the clutch wont disengage. It makes me sad

anyone know of a clutch kit for a good price? I was looking at just doing the valeo brute5 with the disc, plate, tob, and flywheel. its like 500 bucks shipped. I if i decide to go BT i can change the clutch down the line. I just need a cheap kit for now.

opinions? All of the other kits i saw were 600+

thats more than i want to spend right now. Im looking for a fairly cheap solution for time being. I have no problem getting another clutch later on if i go bt but, i need something cheap right now.

IF you need a new clutch, you are most likely going to need a new fw. Some have had their dmfw resurfaced, but i dont think its recommended. Those new are well over $500 and you can get a lwfw for well below that. If you go on vortex, there are deals on clutchnet all the time. You can get any power level you want and they really dont cost much different than each other
