I’m buying a car this week and it needs a clutch. Anyone have a recommendation for a shop in the North Side/North Hills area to get it done?

As for what I’m buying? 1992 Suzuki Swift GTi. Think this car + color, but on stock 14" alloys.

it’s a Metro with twice as much horsepower…

(i.e. a half-dozen hamsters under the hood 😃 )

yeah… i can get a centerforce clutch for $135, but i’ll need to have it put in… i’ve always wanted to learn how to do a clutch, but i’ll be too pressed for time to attempt it myself.

and everyone’s told me not to take it to cottman

a metro is a 3-cyl…

the Swift GTi is a DOHC 4-cylinder in the same body as a Metro.

I’m really into Swift GTIs… back when I had a Metro I always wanted to do the swap… They’re pretty cool, for what they are. 100hp in a car that weighs under 1700lb, and there is a huge aftermarket… [www.ssgti.net](http://www.ssgti.net) has a lot of shit for it.
