Damn! As I was pulling back into my workplace's parking lot from lunch break about 15 minutes ago, my clutch pedal suddenly went flaccid and limp, and stayed that way, and I could no longer disengage my clutch. The throwout bearing has finally just flat-out gone kaput.
So I'm having it towed down the street to my local transimission shop (they're pretty good, they did the clutch-job on my last 'tour). This SVT was driven hard before I bought it a few months ago, so at 100,000 miles I imagine the clutch needs replacing too, and this is a good opportunity to do so.
But I have a few questions that I could REALLY use some good advice on, A.S.A.P. if possible, like:
-Does a clutch kit typically come WITH a throwout bearing? Or do I have to order that seperately?
-What is a good brand of slightly-better-than-OEM clutch kit? Now that I suddenly have to order one almost immediately, I might as well pick a good one.
-Are the factory OEM clutches crappy? Should I get aftermarket? I plan on getting exhaust and headers and a tuner-chip in the next few years, possibly even a turbo kit of some sort, later on. Can an OEM clutch even handle that stuff?
AAHH! What should I do?
Help please!
