Hey folks!

Looking for a little feedback. Car in question is a 2k ALH with 250K on it. Only mods on the car are a RC stage 3 and .205's. Feels like the clutch is on it's way out. Yesterday I had some nasty pulsating coming from the pedal on almost full engagement. I'm also starting to hear some unfimiliar noises coming from the underside of the car when releasing the pedal in first gear. I've also noticed some vibration when looking at the mirrors when I'm stopped at a red light (I've read that this is usually a sign)Havent' been to in tune with the latest clutch options so I'm looking for a little feedback.

Don't indend to keep the car for more than 3-4 years and no more power mods are in sight. I'm thinking the LUK clutch since it's been good to me for the last 14 years and would like to retain the DMF setup. I'll also be heading down to the U.S. and would like to grab something down there unless there's a cheaper option up here? This is what I'm currently eyeing :

Any feedback is appreciated! TIA!

Also, if there is anyone in or around the GTA with experience that wants to make some extra $$$ that would like to tackle this job please PM me
