Alright picked up a 99 Prelude(original A4) a few months ago with 140k miles on it. The throw out bearing started squeaking a week after I bought it and the clutch hasn't been the best to me since. I daily it, as I'm used to it and the squeak is miniscule. But it's time I get a new clutch, and I'm on a budget!
I work for AutoZone - clutch is $200 - duralast - and I get 20% off. But I really don't want to put a duralast clutch in my car.
Looking on eBay at clutches, because a few of my friends had luck with them before.
Really I am asking, what's the best clutch I could get - within the 0-$150 range? I would like stage 1 - 2 in case I decide to do some power upgrades in the future.
Has anyone else had luck with those eBay clutches?
There are stage 1-2 clutches ranging from 75-150 with weird ass brand names (XTR, F1, etc) - search 99 prelude clutch if you want to view the names.
Or should I just get a GOOD brand OEM equivalent? Like there is an Exedy for around a hundred, just OEM equivalent.
I would save for a really nice expensive clutch, but I am paying too much off and can't afford it - just want my clutch fixed!
All in all, whats the best clutch I can get for no more than around $150. (basicly dont want to spend too much because I want to replace the timing belt/tensioner/water pump very soon)
Thanks in advanced. -somewhat new to the Honda world.
