why they say its for 03-05 scares me, i didnt know it would be any different for 06+but looks decent. just try researching the official versions of each first and see what u can really find out about them

I'd be curious as to how that combo works. I've seen his auctions of this item frequently. I know eventually I'll have to replace my clutch on my GT so it would be nice to have it on hand when the need occurs.

Clutch and flywheel are in and it works great. If you get this done you may as well buy the axel seals and have them replaced. I guarantee they will break the seals like they did on mine and it leaked all over my driveway. They fixed that and it works great, a little grippier and sensitive than stock, works like a charm

How does the lighter flywheel feel? One of the concerns I had was if the flywheel was too light it may not maintain momentum and become easier to stall and require more reving.

Great find man, I added them to my favorite stores. My clutch in my 03 Matrix is nearing its life expectancy (has 75K miles on it)

Yes, it is a little more touchy starting in 1st. Have to keep the revs maybe 500 more than usual but not really an issue. Stalled it a couple times. Other than that it is very driveable and is working great.

i was looking at this exact setup for my 05 gt, and i'm glad someone else is happy with it. one question... how much did it cost for labor?? i live in cali, so i'm sure it will be a lil more, but i jus want a general idea. i have 31,600 miles on mine, and the clutch is on it's last leg. actually, it's been on it's last leg for a while now, so the leg's worn down to a nub. i'm tryna get it replaced asap, because i hate not being able to hit lift, and hearing/feeling the clutch slippin during every shift. i feel like a 16 yr old kid learnin how to drive stick. (and i'm sure to other people i look like it)
