Greeting all... Took my wife to the Houston Zoo today, as she has been bugging me to take her for weeks. While going home, I was sitting at a redlight about 100 feet from the entrance ramp. The light turns green, I punch it, and rev it to about 4,500 rpm before grabbing second. When I let the clutch out, the rpms momentarilly stayed at about 4,000 rpm before the clutch grabbed. The rest of the way home I never noticed slipping again, even when accelerating hard in higher gears. So, I'm pretty sure my clutch is on the way out. I'm not too pissed, she is a '94 with about 55,000 somewhat-city miles on her. My questions: How long do y'all think I've got before I'm stranded on the side of the minus a clutch? How much should I look to pay for a new clutch? What should I replace it with? The car has very few mods (K&N, Magnecore wires, Hella H4's, etc), and is going to be used just as a commuter vehicle for my wife, so I don't need performance, just something that will last... Thanks, Ben

Hey BEn, I recently changed my clutch! Mine started to slip at about 55k miles too! I would probably recommend you don's rev and drop like that too often! I did and it cost me a but load! he he! Anyways, I upgraded my clutch to a CenterforceI Clutch! It was about 270 dollars i think. Total with installation was $650 for me! It might vary where you live! But go centerforce! Extremely high quality products! you can get some info on them here. http://www.centerforce.com Hope this helps ya! Nick >
