How many miles?

At the moment the car has 140k but when i bought it three years ago it was replaced from the last owner but it has been a while since my car has been doing this

Well my clutch has clattered since day one. Mainly because it is a cheap Spec clutch.

So if it was replaced what kind of clutch? Was the flywheel done at the same time?

If you dont know probably best to go ahead and replace both.

Please learn from my mistake and don't go cheap..

Thanks for the help and advice! Will be changing my clutch soon with a exedy stage 1 kit, would it be better to change out the flywheel also or just resurface mine

I have a low mile exedy mach 500 clutch, lightweight steel flywheel and throw out bearing. I'll sell it for half of new cost. Let me know if you're interested and I'll take pictures and come up with a cost

Sounds like a good deal.

If you want to save money you can have it resurfaced but it is super more convenient to have a new one.

I posted a for sale ad for the clutch. If @joshuamedina653 wants it, he can have first dibs, if not that fine too. I'm not trying to pressure him into buying. It was just good motivation for me to take pics and make an ad.

I'll go $400 and split shipping with you which will be about $40. So $420 total shipped, for the clutch and flywheel and ARP bolts. I'll throw in the pilot bearing and clutch slave cylinder free, if you want them. They don't have much value used and it would be a good idea to replace them with new parts. There is no reason to buy new ARP pressure plate bolts, they last forever.

The clutch is damn near like new for half price and it is very likely to last for the remaining life of the car.
