the crossfires use a different kind of throwout bearing. its one piece on its mount, which bolts to the transmission.
and thats just a standard oem replacement clutch, nothing fancy

 

I was just thinking it was the throwout bearing when I was writing that reply, and it's called something else, not a throwout bearing. <shrug> I was also thinking that there's no way it could be a performance clutch, that it was probably OEM. Still, even OEM, it's cheaper than the actual parts, so it's still a steal.

 

release bearing, throwout bearing, whatever.
its the same thing and its common name is throwout bearing

 

I realize it is simply an OEM replacement, but for many who are not after the performance aspect, it is still half the price and if it is OEM quality, I would say we have quite a find. Especially considering no one else out there makes any replacement parts for us. I think this is a good sign. I would still personally want a performance cluctch, but many (in the next several years) are probably going to need replacments, I was trying to see how it matched to OEM as far as build and quality.....

 

I would imagine its right on par with stock. alot of times when you see a replacement oem clutch like that. more than likely they made the oem clutch in the first place.. like exedy eith the honda stuff,

I've seen the kit around, i thought about ordering just so i can have a clutch built off of it

 

Yeah, this looks like a great find for anyone that needs an OEM clutch, Boiler. If either Infinite wants it for his performance clutch information, or perhaps someone might actually need a clutch. It's def a good thing that there are people out there producing parts for us still, considering that Chrysler has problems to deal with right now, and I doubt they're looking to help us lowly Crossfire owners out.

 

no chrysler def. isnt.
I need a passenger side foglight... and they dont have em

 

Exactly why this find is a good thing for those of us that might need a new clutch. Because soon, I think we're -all- going to be in the boat looking for custom fabricated parts, because there just won't be any OEM parts left.

 

well i have some local companies that want to do r&d
so hopefully everything goes well,

first things are dual 3" aluminum exhaust (maybe 304ss just depends)
aluminum driveshaft
clutch and flywheel
and some other things

 

what is the aver. price you paid for a new clutch replacement?
the out the door price?

i do not need a clutch yet but with 55,000 miles on her i am sure it is coming
just do not know when

 

Hold off on this Infinite. I have been speaking with a few salvage companies that have gotten wrecked manual XFs and have found some interesting info. The last clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel they sold was under $300 total and less than 5K on the clock. If we can find a sweetheart deal like this, we are gravy. I will keep emailing and see what I can find, but if we find a decent setup for mockup at a good price, can you have the parts fabbed at a price that not astronomical?

 

im going to say, and dont quote me, a clutch, depending on needs, about 550 or less for performance
flywheel, not sure yet as i need one to send in

so if you can find me a flywheel, disc, and pressure plate we'll be golden

 

I will continue to look, and that price sounds amazing, especially considering the ~900 price tag of this one.....
