    Just get a stock replacement clutch if you don't plan to mod the car too far from where it is now.

    you are going to want to replace the flywheel too. they are not machinable. you can wreck the new clutch if you dont. when you get a t belt get a gates one from rock auto

    False, they are machinable. Check with headworks in Bloomington. Had mine done there. (As well as several others from the forums.)

    I would blame the place you went to for machining. They work perfectly fine after being resurfaced.

    Tran speaks the truth! I had mine resurfaced through RS Motors when we they did my build, no issues.

    Napa down the street. They have a really good machine to properly cut the flywheel. O'Reilly claimed they can do flywheel with their rotor machine. That's the last I trusted anything the dude said. You can't cut a flywheel on a brake lathe.

    You can turn a flywheel on a brake lathe. I've seen it done at least a dozen times. Doesn't mean its optimal, but on a stock 2.2 Leg or most non turbo subies , it works fine.

    Thanks all who are giving advice. I think I have found the parts cheapest on Amazon. after the new year I will be hooking up with Nuke to do the installation. Thanks again. Always seekin advice and knowledge.
