Woohooo! More VG's with lsd!

I have that clutch, I don't beat on it too hard and it holds up well. It's about the same as stock.

IIRC, that is just the OEM clutch.

If you want more grip, you will have to upgrade to something else like an Exedy stage 1 or an ACT. There are others out there, but those two seem to be the most common upgrades.

I have an ACT. It is definitely better than stock, but the pressure is quite a bit stronger. Not that much fun in a lot of traffic.

Had mine in for a year and live in an area with lots of very steep hills...works fine...I definitely like to get on the throttle, but I'm not abusive. Not a bad choice.

Edit: my bad, I have the stage 1, not the OEM replacement. Spend the extra 10 bucks on a stage 1. (The e-bay ads look almost the same, easy to mistake them for each other.)

ok so this one would be a good choice then.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-01...3878QQtcZphoto Would it be worth the extra money to step up to a Stage 3?

There ya go! Stage 3, definitely not...that would mean pretty much zero slipability, e.g. no driving in traffic or parking it, at all! I would probably have gotten a stage 2, but there weren't any for cheap on e-bay.

No your NA and low power no need for anything other then stage 1. Stage 2 and up is for boost.

Just made sure its actually Exedy stage 1. I'll be pissed if we need to wait on parts once I get there.....

But my 2ed 5 speed swap yay! But yours has LSD mine doesn't Oh well another 5 speed VG!

Are you buying this VE 5-speed to part it out?

If it has leather interior, I might be interested in the passenger side front door panel.
