Go with the oem stuff. I had mine done last year for about $700 at the dealer, then I blew it up about a month later being stupid , and they replaced everything free of charge! They said that if I would have gone with the aftermarket option, they wouldn't have covered labor- which is about half the cost.

I'd still be rockin the original clutch if the dealer hadn't misdiagnosed my toasted passenger side cv/intermediate shaft as a blown throw-out bearing

i just have a hard time dishing out 1200 to the dealer its horrible how expensive they bang you for
especially when i see aftermarket clutches (auto zone clutch 89.99) and install costing 400 so all in all less then 500

Auto zone clutches are terrible, you get what you pay for and unless you enjoy dropping the trans do it right the first time-first hand experience
