The dealer charged my buddy 1200 for a Southbend Clutch with light-weight flywheel with install.
I bought my car with a 10 miles on it clutch and killed it off. Pedal definitely keeps reaching back further and further.

Aftermarket clutches tend to be cheaper than oem... actually most aftermarket parts are cheaper than oem

I have found a place that is going to do my clutch. From what i hear they do a really good job and i think i got a reasonable price too. I looked at a couple of the after market clutches and i am not sure what one i should put on my car so i guess i will just have to wait.

honestly, you dont need a clutch. the clutch will keep getting higher, then it will start slipping when under higher load, and then it will eventually blow out. you dont need to think to start replacing it until it starts slipping. before i replaced my clutch i could shift by tapping the pedal with my toe lol. you just dont want to keep let it slipping once it starts or you could damage the flywheel. but mine lasted for over a year after it started slipping.

if you want to just replace it now to go ahead and get it over with, then i would go with a southbend kit. stage 1 kit is just above 300, but if you talk to slayerrule over on AZ, his name is Andrei, he will hook you up with a 10% discount. and clutch kits dont include flywheels, just everything needed to swap the clutch only. but your stock flywheel should be perfectly fine. and the job itself shouldn't cost more than 700, its rated at ~10 hours but mine was done in a little over 4.
