If you have to buy a new clutch, then you can check into some of these good brands, and find one that fits your needs & wants:


Clutchmasters

Centerforce

Ram

Spec

ATC


Good luck!

It could be your tensioner/tensioner pulley. I had a rather loud whistling sound coming from my car. Try and just listen and see where the sound is exactly coming from.

You mean the smooth idler pulley, the bearing on the pulleys is different I think than the one on the tensioner pulley, for reference to annoying sounds I once let my engine get rained on and it burned out the bearing on the pulley which made it make this unbelievably loud whistling sound...I mean you could hear it down the street it was so bad...My clutch is whistling too though, is it a stock clutch? They suck...Hows it catching?

The sound wouldnt go away when he pressed the clutch pedal if that were the case.

It is your throw out bearing, this is common problem on these cars.
