Default Need HELP ASAP! clutch went bad!

ok, i was stuck in the middle of the highway as my clutch went bad. It was slipping, and i was going to fix it next week, but didn't know it will come to me this soon.

Well, I haven't got a quote from the dealer, but heard from my friend it was around 2000 for parts and labor. I DO NOT want to pay that much for a stock part again, so i need to know which aftermarket part is good.

Also, would I need to replace the pressure plate too?

Any help ASAP will be great guys! thanks!

Well $2000 seems very excessive. I had my clutch go out on the freeway too. I ended up paying about $1000 for my replacement with labor.
I would suggest going with spec clutches.

where can i get them? and also, I found a good deal on OEM clutches for 289. Do you think it would be a bad idea to stay stock?

I stayed stock when I replaced it. Only thing that sucked were the labor charges.
