where to get a new clutch kit?

[phreak97]

hey all, took my clutch out today.. looks pretty unhappy.. so first, where should i go for a new one? and what price am i looking at? i pretty much need to get it from an online store, because im not going to find anything here.
also, does the bis have a different clutch to an air cooled? what part number or whatever do i want?

sorry for all the questions, im learning everything as i go along.

bis clutch is different/better than the aircooled clutch. they are interchangable though. not sure of the part number. try an autofactors.

Looks like the Bis clutch plate is a little larger than the aircooled. Pressure plate and release bearings are the same part numbers. I would stick to the correct clutch for the correct car, unless you start tuning.

the bis driven plate is slightly larger,but with the added advantage of being spring loaded like a proper car...also the pressure plate is a better quality.........but if your a novice id stick with original bits as chris says......

if your going to the trouble of doing the clutch,replace the input shaft seal at the same time......thats what usually buggers the clutch in the first place with oil contamination.

i actually think it was a wrecked push bearing thing which might have ruined it. it looks like theres shredded bits of the diaphragm spring all clogged into the clutch disc. the bearing looks ok, but thats not to say it wasnt just replaced.

where are these seals located?
