used clutch comments?

OK clutch on the conquest is the original as far as i know with 119k on it, and slips like a bitch. I dont plan to keep this car very long so i found someone on the starquest forum sellin a used clutch and pressure plate for $30 becuase he upgraded. Honeslty i dont know by looking at a clutch if its any good or not, could you please give me your opinions! Thanks for your time.

will upload pics when i get home, cant go on photobucket at work…

how much does a new clutch cost?

i would stay away, but thats up to you. depends on the clutch and the condition i guess

new ones are $300 and up

Use a used clutch if you don’t mind changing it twice.

can we wait till the pics are up to determine…

Don’t know the details of your car so I guessed, but http://www.rockauto.com has 2 clutch kits in stock for an 89 conquest tsi turbo for $107.

I’d much rather spend $107 for a new one than take a chance on a $30 used one considering what a pain in the ass clutch jobs normally are.

these are are far from a pita, im not worried about the install at all…
PICS…



doesnt look all that terrible.

but then again im not looking at it close up, there could be cracks, tho it doesn really look like it

disc has alot of life, looks fine the the pics. I dont see anything that looks like there was a problem. needs some better pics of the plate.
I used clutch can be fine, nothing differnt the just taking any used clutch off, and just putting it back on. Just retartd out there do stupiud things. Ive dose alot of fast cars that are running a good used clutch off a differnt setup.

itll work. like ^ sickspeed man said

If it’s not a difficult job and you’re going to sell it might as well give it a shot. Pictures look good and if you get it in your hands and it looks worse you’re only out $30.

My old Fiero was an 7+ hour job if you knew what you were doing. In that case it just makes so much more sense to spend the extra money to put in one you know will work.

Don’t forget to resurface the flywheel.
