My clutch is slipping due to being worn out (240,000 miles), or contaminated due to a fuel leak, so I've been looking at new clutches. My 1998 1/2 24v 5 speed mino perfprmance enhancements. Based on thoughts gleaned here it seems an SBC (South Bend Clutch) Model 0090 CON O would well suit my needs. What parts besides those in the clutch kit (SBC is not clear about what comes with the kit - cost is $500) should I buy/replace: bearings, release hydraulics, etc?

Unfortunately, it's snowing here and I don't have a place inside to work - besides I'm reluctant to drop the tranny myself - so I plan on finding a garage to do the work. Any suggestions on how I find one in SW PA (The SBC web site lists no dealers or installers in this area) that will do the job properly and what I should expect to pay?

Thanks, Jim

 

Make sure they put a new throwout bearing in.

Thanks - I never had a bad experience at NAPA either - always helpful concerned knowledgeable experienced.
