clutch

Well, I knew this was coming for a while now. My clutch is worn down terribly and last night on the way home from the meet it slipped a few times. Anyways, what kind of clutch should I get for my car? 89dx hatch. Any names in particular that make great ones? Add some prices if you know them plz I'm broke as a crackwhore.

for a 93 Si they are around $400... but they last forever... my factory clutch went about 250 000 kms.... or you could buy a shittier clutch and buy 3 or 4 of them in the same time period

Problem: I called NAPA and Carquest and they both said approx $200 from each place. I asked for a generic clutch so I don't know if I was supposed to ask for something else that would be $40-$50?

I got one from a local store about 6 years ago for my bros old 1982 Civic 1500S, and it was $40 plus bearing. I don't think inflation on clutches is that much

if you can do w/o the car for a few days, you can remove the clutch and have a shop re-line it. That's super cheap too, and it's great cux you keep the stock OEM backing.
