Alot of guys swear by Southbend Clutch. Others have had good success with Valair. I've heard from a couple guys that tryed out the Zoom clutches and were pretty happy with them as well. I'd stay away from Luk clutches, I've never heard much good about them. Just remember, when it comes to clutches, you pretty much get what you pay for. And when ordering one for the six spd., you gotta make sure you get one for the right sized input shaft. They used a smaller one when they first came out. I think with it being an 01, he might have the bigger one, but I'm not certain. I forget what the 2 sizes were.

I just order a valair based on I had better customer service out of them than southbend and cheaper price even though most of it was based on service and being willing to answer questions. Talked to dan and kevin at valair and both were very knowledgeable willing to help and talked to me for prob 30 mins each were as I felt rushed by southbend with a text book answer but that was just my experience.
