Can i install my own clutch and do i need one?

When your clutch slips you need a new one. Until then go on enjoying your clutch Most people will recommend the ACT HDMM from Phuong, but some will also say Centerforce (My4DSC). If you're worried about the clutch job I would go ahead and pay for it because it can cause plenty of problems down the line if done incorrectly. It's also not the first thing to learn to do, and you need jack stands. I say play with your NOS and do your clutch when the time comes. You'll definitely know when it's slipping especially with the N2O.

Go with the ACT street clutch, regardless.

Just curious - why would you let DIY vs. paying a shop determine which part you get?

That (mis?)understanding was the context of my original comment.
Certainly didn't mean to imply anyone's made of $. -Just that if you could get a stronger, better clutch than the OEM for about the same $, I can't see why you wouldn't. . .that's all.

Its not that difficult to install a clutch. Its only a ***** taking the tranny off, but its easy. When I had my tranny off during the swap, it took me maybe a half hour to put the clutch on along with the pressure plate and cleaning of the flywheel. Then again, if you dont have any tools and a good jack, you'll spend as much as at a shop, but you'll keep the tools in the end.
