Or this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3&category=6783



I burned out my pressure plate, but have a paucity of means for financial recompense. Don't want to buy something that's a couple miles away from going out, though. Whaddya think? Maybe http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=33730 would be a better bet?

If you gotta do what you gotta do then go for it. I personally wouldn't toss one in my car, but if it stays cheap and that's all you can afford then what choice do you have.

If it's going to go out again in a few months, I'll just ride my bicycle around 'til I have the $270 for the new one. It may suck, but not as bad as doing a clutch replacement twice in quick succession.

I really wouldn't recomend buying used clucth parts.

I did about two years ago. I payed some guy $75 for a ACT disc that was so worn I didn't even bother using it.

If you wanna go cheap do it on other parts not ones that wear out as fast as clutches do.
