Clutch

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

If your clutch is slipping from applying power in gear then, Yep! it's history. Either that or it's
totally mis-adjusted!
The stock clutch can handle a 2.0 16V or a turbo JH running 10psi boost, so I see no reason to
upgrade unless you're going to take your car to the strip alot, like Cathy, or just hammer it all
the time.
The installation kit seems a little much to me unless you have a rear main seal that you feel needs
replacing.
If your rear main seal isn't leaking, leave it alone and just buy the clutch kit and the pressure
plate to flywheel bolts.
