Clutch time suggestions
So I'm definitely due for a new clutch coming up on 85k with stock clutch and been running 37s 5.13s. I'm in the north Virginia/DC area anyone know a good shop? Or what did you pay for a clutch job/how many labor hours/total price? And what questions if any should I be asking at the shop what do I need to be aware of.

Center force 2 on Amazon you can get the pressure plate for 190 and the clutch plate for 97. This clutch uses ball bearings instead of springs it give a much much more even pressure across the entire surface of the clutch plate as soon as you engage it for more even wear and it also holds the clutch plate with more pressure. Is a noticeable difference when at full throttle and your shifting much more immediate power to the road. Hope this helps.

Anything else I should be aware of when dealing with the shop? My biggest problem with mine is it is catching very very high and gives a very rough jump between gears a lot of the time.

I went center force as well. Do a quality throw out bearing. Not really much to replacing the clutch it is getting to it that is the hard part. Lots of labor to remove everything that is in the way and put it back together.

What throwout bearing did you go with I hear the one distributed by napa is pretty good cant remember the manufacturer though
