As most of ya'll know i now have close to 50k on my car (49980 to be exact) and the clutch started slipping on me last night... This really sucks cause the local "tuner shop" wanted 995 dollars to install the clutch and it looks like im gonna have to drive out to San Francisco to SpeedElement to get the best deal (1115 and that includes the clutch, seals, fluids, etc). God this really blows big hairy donkey balls...

lol nice. Tripp, you should be happy your clutch lasted that long. Mine went out at 18K lol. Im pretty sure the previous owner of my car beat the hell out of the car. Either way, I know how much clutch replacements suck. What kind ouf clutch are you going to get? Say hi to Calvin at SE for me.

Mine was starting to leak, so I sent it out to Shepp. It makes daily driving a bit more jerky, but it holds like crazy and now I can launch all I want :D
