Hey, I'm on a super tight budget right now...and my clutch is slipping. Great right?

I eBay everything...past 35th Aniv Ed Mustang GT, my old RX-7, and I saw this clutch.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p3907.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D 15%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54&item=220346933212&category=33730&viewitem=

I searched and searched till my eyeballs hurt and couldn't find anything on it which doesn't exactly speak highly of itself. I do run N20...rarely though, mods are in the sig.

I don't care about chatter, my clutch now does it and I'm just used to it. I do care about it grenading in 15K miles or somehow just being totally wrong. Clutch pedal feel is not important because my RX7 had a 6 puck Spec and that thing was like leg pressing an elephant. Don't enjoy it, but I can live with it.

Damn college budget...I just want to graduate already and get my diploma, get a real job, and not have to nickel and dime a eBay clutch.

EDIT: When I do graduate, the diploma is going in the bathroom just in case I run out of toilet paper.

i wouldnt trust a no name brand personally. id stick it out for either a ram powergrip or a spec stage 3. you know if you look around you can probably find a used for for 300 or so.

on the cheap id just get a oem pressure plate and lt4 disk. not the strongest thing made by man but if you do it smart you can get the two of them for less then 200 total..

Bumping an old thread here.. Is there anyone out there who has run one of these clutches before? I am kind of in the same situation as OP, need to replace clutch/PP on the cheap and came across these on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XTD-STAGE-3-RACIN-CLUTCH-93-97-CAMARO-FIREBIRD-LT1_W0QQitemZ120426874556QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors _Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0a0046bc&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

There's another "stage 3" if you search also. Yeah I know one of the pricier name brand ones is a safe bet but I am kind of in a bind currently.. and sometimes this ebay stuff can be just as good as higher priced stuff.
