I need to get clutch work done and maybe gears too. I live about 20 minutes from DC, an hour from Baltimore.

So far the only place I've found is http://www.eldperformance.com/ but I don't know if they're any good...

Any suggestions? Thanks.

The way I get there is you go down Euclid to Owens, turn right on Owens, and then Left on Venture

Great
Both places estimated $400 for the install including flywheel resurfacing. I'm going to goto Espeut on Saturday to talk more prices and discuss clutches.

Thanks a lot everyone

Went to Espeut, Pete is a great guy. He's really cool and he's got a sick 03 Sonic Blue Cobra vert. Problem is, something is wrong. Still working it out but the pressure plate and clutch fork visibly shakes.

Clutch bites real hard though, he recommended a FRPP HD (not King Cobra).
