So I got a brand new cluth today from one of dads friend, really cheap ($75). Well want to know if anyone has any kind of comments or expert opinions on how this cluth will preform or anything you might want to add as your own 2 cents. First of all here are some digital images:

Ok so far the information I was able to get on this cluth was that Daikin a.k.a. Exedy manufactures the heavy part (idk what is the exact word for it lol!) and the flywheel seems to be by Raybestos.

I have no car expirience and want to know if anyone here has any experience with these manufactures or any feedback on them, as I don't have any auto mechanic degree or experience to know about all this. Thanks alot for all the feedback in advance!

That's appears to be a stock clutch replacement. Attached is mine that I just removed. I should have taken a shot of the new one I put in. I believe it had 6 springs like yours.

If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time...

Either way $75 is a deal. GJ.

How long do stock ones usually last for maybe a DD?

Good question. Usually the tranny has some sort of failure before the clutch does so most replace it while the tranny is being rebuilt.

I don't know what else could be F'd up on my transmission. And I found a very cheap way to change it, for one the cluth was a really good price imo and well the labor will be done by a well known mechanic in the family for maybe $100 or less not sure, have to talk to him.
