HELP! clutch probs

Post by k.y.l.e. »

Hey guys, need your advice. I have a S13 200SX with a S14 SR20DET motor and gearbox. My problem stands as this...I spent all my money on buying the car, now im low on funds for buying a new clutch kit as the car's clutch is slipping badly. Do you guys think modifying a standard clutch to a dual diaphram is worth it? and will it last? And what is the pros and cons of modyifying a standard clutch
Please guys need your advice as my car is standing at the moment. :(

I ran my sx with a rebuilt double diaphram pressure plate and 5puk button with the springs, never had problems but as always, if you have the money, buy the best.
