I might lend a suggestion but you might not like it since I work at "autostupid"



I have been through a bunch those lifetime warranty clutches and here's the deal. This is for all later turbo 2.3s. Every pressure plate I've had is exactly the same PN. I have yet to open a clutch kit that had exactly the same disc.
The autozone clutch will hold a good bit of "stock power". I drove it a year and then I made about 65 passes on the first one before it started slipping. Then as power started to go up I was only getting about 10 runs on slicks and nitrous. I kept everything at the store so I could keep track of the good and bad.
Every now and then the clutch kit would come with a disc that had metal clips that hold the center section together, these did well. The plastic ones "might" last one night.
I went as fast as 8.48 in the 1/8 on that clutch, I got really good at pulling the transmisison and also grew tired of it all too. I went to clutchnet or something to that effect(I'll find it later) and bought the Spec stage 3 disc only. Its a 6puck sprung hub and I run it with the stock pressure. Everybody said their complete kit came with a part number that matched mine anyway.
Its been 37 passes and bunch more nitrous and a ton of street runs

It takes the same pedal effort but grips really well.

"Here's your change" (my 2 cents)

"and have a good day"
