Since the flywheel, PP and disk are all items which mate to eachother, I would get a new clutch kit (disk, PP, TOB) and at least turn the flywheel.

Seems to me that D&D used to sell stock Valeo clutch kits for about 100 bucks - not a bad deal at all. Or go with the cobra or KC set up instead.

Good luck.

the pressure plate is the high performance part of the clutch setup, it produces the "pressure"... which is what makes a hipo clutch hipo... sure the disc itself is a little more frictionier.... (real word?) but with a stock pressure plate you'll get a weak pedal

which for a daily driver probably isnt a bad thing... but for my DD i like em stiff
