Title: on a budget but have engine out replace clutch and pressure plate?
Post by: xkmail on September 23, 2009, 01:58:36 PM: So I am doing my tdi swap.
I put in a new clutch, pressure plate, t/o bearing about 4 months ago, the acme kit uses the stock tracker clutch kit.
the clutch disk has some shiny spots on it already, the pressure plate still looks ok.
Do I replace the plate and the disc?
On a budget but I refuse to pull this engine or drop the tranny again anytime soon.
Just a daily driver, maybe trail putting, no 4wheeling or hard work.

IF YOU REFUSE TO PULL ANYTIME SOON YOU ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION!

Anyways, thinking about it I found the exedy oem kit for about $120 online, and I'll do the clutch cable too.
I would like to do a centerforce but $260~ just pushing it for a car I drive maybe a couple hundred miles a month around town.

easy friend, nobody was yelling. I always forget about the etiquite some people live by. I write orders w/ the caps on and then I like to click over to zuki and check on things (forgetting to turn "caps off"). I do appologize if you feel I was being unfairly loud w/ you. BUT, you have to admit after reading your post you really did answer you own question. Exedy is my clutch of choice, sounds like a a good price if its plate, disc, bearing, alignment tool and pilot bearing if you get lucky!!!!

Post by: john1974 on September 24, 2009, 02:24:23 PM: I love exedy clutches. There perfect for those who dont have the $$ to get a centerforce and want something better than stock. Plus the cost is about same as a stock one, which is why I never understand why people replace there stock with a stock when they could go exedy.
