Title: Clutch went out......
Post by: fiftytakedowns on April 29, 2009, 07:50:52 PM

So my clutch is pretty much done, only thing it is useful for is Freeway cruising, otherwise If I give the car too much gas, or make a quick shift it slips.

I have done some searching, and saw the plausible options of
m20 clutch/ flywheel swap
or the single mass flywheel swap.

But I am concerned mostly with price, and ease of job.

to do the m20 swap you need to switch out the gear of the starter, or off of the flywheel, which both seem quite difficult.

Anyone know its cost versus just replacing standard M42 clutch.

Is it really worth the extra dollars, if it costs more?

Thanks.

I was talking about the conversion with the cost of machining the m20 and the starter, more like what Is the price of a complete swap, Or if it is worth the extra dollars.
