From a person who's had 5 tranny's and even more clutches usually ruff shifting,difficulty engaging gears is usually paranioa or the tranny itself. But you have a 4G63, Im speaking Venture/420A tranny.
but if i were to get a >new clutch..like an ACT2100 or ACT2600 clutch..would i be able >to do it myself..i've never worked on suspension in my >car..most of my mods are just easy bolt ons and mainly i just >work with electrical stuff like wiring up gauges and turbo >timers and stuff..
If you havent pulled a tranny or helped somebody pull a tranny please dont try and do it yourself unless you are doing it with somebody who's done it (which is how you learn to do it, not self learning). Suspension,turbo's and bolt ons are nothing compared to dropping a tranny. Not that its complex but without a lift and a serious tool collection it might be a bitch. A clutch job is only about $200-300 labor. If your getting had it might cost $400-450max. I never paid more than $250.
do any shops do this or would i have >to go to a performance shop?
Some performance shops may do it cheap if you buy the clutch from them but otherwise you might be better off and done quicker going to a transmission shop. If they actually work on it from morning by 2pm they will be finished easily
Would you guys recommend a high >performance clutch or a stock OEM clutch.. right now i'm >running about 15-16 pounds of boost on my GST. oh yeah..sorry >for hijacking your post.. but yeah what are your symptons of >dying clutches cause i wanna know that too.
you should but in a clutch now that will hold all you plan to throw at it in the future. That why I have this in mine:
