2006 Replacement Clutch
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2020 7:39 pm
Well, I'm pretty sure my clutch is finally giving up the ghost in my 2006 5-speed. When I'm driving along in gear, giving it some beans (not even all the beans) causes the engine to rev without taking the transmission along for the ride. Could this be some kind of adjustment in the pedal, or is it definitely time for a new clutch? (120k miles, 6 or so owners so the history is unknown) If it is the clutch, what's the recommendation on replacing the flywheel?
I've left the car pretty much stock except for a front bar and Bilstein B6 shocks (and intend to leave it that way). Since I do as much autocross with it as I can, it looks like the Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit would be right for me, but I'm hesitant to double my money to do the lightweight flywheel. I'd also like to be able to make the next local autocross in 2 weeks, and I'm not sure if it's realistic to get the stock flywheel resurfaced in that timeframe.
Thanks for your insight and advice!
