03 cl 6 speed clutch recommendation

So yesterday I was driving my car and what I think is a bad t-out bearing went bad. The car isn't moving or anything or making noises when I push it in gear after engaging the clutch. It's acting as if it's in neutral. So with that being said I'm looking at replacing the clutch kit. First question how complicated is it to do on the cls?
Second what clutch do you guys recommend? The car will be stock in performance mods.

Thanks

Stick with oem. The other option is like four times the price and is performance oriented.

I agree with gnuts. You can get the LUK OEM equivalent clutch kit and flywheel at rockauto for well under $400 shipped. Since you did not mention current mileage, it would be prudent to replace the rear main seal (91214-P8A-A01), as well, while you are there.

If you know what your doing it isnt too bad. I replaced it for the first time back in May and it was a headache! Next time I would probably just buy the parts and take it to a shop to do the labor.. but that's just me. But as Zeta said I would deff replace the rear main sale while you are right there!
