Default "Clutch needed" post, again..
Sorry guys and gals, 'nuther "need this and that" posting. However, I do need a new clutch, just don't know which clutch to go with! RAM, McCleod, Spec, blahblahblah...so many, and me without a clue. I got $450.00 burnin' a hole in my credit card tho. So, whaddya all recommend? 'Preciate the suggestions! It's for the Camaro SS, so see sig for details.

Thanks.

SPEC stage III. My friend has one, and it's a neck breaker.

Well, after much consideration and great input, I went with a SPEC III clutch assembly. $360.00 to the door, and I will be resurfacing my flywheel.

Thanks again for the help people!

It was on a commonly used online auction site, begins with "E" I think. Can't promote it though, or this thread will get snuffed out!!
