do not buy a garbage clutch from autozone. pm mike@dth about it he will be able to help you. what do you mean by 'fall apart' and 'boom'? did the disk explode or did you just loose the pedal? any mechanic is going to charge you around 8 hours of labor for it.

ok so its just slipping real bad. if it had exploded that could be really bad because the pieces could crack the transmission and destroy a lot of stuff in there.

I offer both South Bend and Clutch Masters clutch kits for the 2.8. If the car is pretty much stock and you are on a very tight budget I would suggest going with the South Bend Stage 1.


South Bend stage 1 = $365 shipped
