I recently got my clutch replaced because it was slipping. I got the Clutch Industries RPM (heavy duty) range at my local spare parts store (Autopro) Costed me $520 for the kit and another 300 to fit. $45 to machine the flywheel and $50 to replace the gearbox fluid with Castrol synthetic. Replacing the clutch on these cars are a terrible job to do.
Most people would recommend the Exedy though, but they are of course more $$$.

Well I tried doing it myself, and I got all the cross members out of the way and then the bolts on the top of the bellhousing got me. I couldn't get to them. Anywhoo, I'm not mechanic haha but at least I had a go!
My clutch is hydraulic, but that would've made much difference •••.

Tip I learned from Neil (the master). Undo the crossmember bolts, disconnect tailshaft, and support the rear of the box on a jack. Lower the jack so that the box is angled down to give you room. Then need a uni-joint socket attachment and some extension bars, and you basically run the extension bars across the top of the box. The uni-joint is the key to everything tho

Ah well. Next time
