Don't forget to use the discount codes on this thread:

Depending on the shape of your flywheel, you may need one of those also. Items to replace when you do your clutch:
- Release Bearing
- Pressure Plate and friction disk
- Rear Main Seal
- Pilot Bearing possibly
- Flywheel possibly

this sucks because I can order a spec clutch kit for $557 or oem clutch kit for $269. A new flywheel will cost $300 something, but I wont even know if i will need one until they open up the tranny. Just going ahead and ordering the flywheel wit the clutch will cost me like clost to $1 grand getting the spec clutch and OEM flywheel, but only $662 getting the OEM clutch kit wit the OEM flywheel. Top it off if I decide to just order either clutch and take the risk that the flywheel is still good or bad, if they open it up and see its bad, then I got to have the car sit in the shop for a few days for a flywheel then I have no transportation. Lol, this is a big predicament. Since this stock clutch lasted to 90k im leaning towards just getting another once since they seem to be pretty strong, just dont want to spend that $300 on the flywheel if I dont have to.

It's a high probalility that you'll need a flywheel. I would be very surprised that yours dosn't have hot spots.

Spend the $300. It isn't going to cost you any more in labor and I pretty much guarantee you're going to need a new one. Also due to the dual mass design we can't resurface the flywheel.

I remember reading somewhere that the SPEC clutch kit is just an OEM painted unit?

i cant take this burt clutch. Driving at slow speeds because if I go too fast the clutch will slip. People behind me get mad and come from behind me and jump infront of me fast without signaling or anything.
