Default Clutch is shot

My Spec 3+ is shot. The previous owner had the Spec 3+ put in with flywheel and pressure plate. The clutch is starting to slip in high gears. Do I need to replace the whole setup now, or should I just purchase a new disc?

Personally I'd replace everything, especially if you are paying to have it done. Some people might think its a waste but once you're in there you wont be saving much money just replacing the clutch.

You can get away with juts having the flywheel resurfaced flat, buy a new clutch asy though.

SR, it really depends on the state of the plate. If you can measure the flatness of the plate with a flat-egde it will provide information on the amount of wear the plate has seen. You can email pics of you like so I can check it out but I would like to know what kind of difference there is in the surface. Let me know. Thanks,
