u ahve the option of a 800$ ceramic clutch from clutchmasters , stock replacement u can use a pt cruisar stock clutch their pretty nice and the cheaper better option would be go non-modular witha neon style (95) fly wheel and 95 neon clutch disk and pressure plate half the cost and u get a bigger clutch disk...
You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.
for some reason my friends 98 GS came with a non-modular clutch. its came brand new from the factory like that so ya mite wanna make sure that yours didn't.
Im never change my clutch yet since i buy this car, so im not sure which setup my clutch is. and i read some discussion about this before, but it never clear which setup for year 96 rs/gs car. But i assumed that, i have Modular clutch, is this possible swap to non-modular clutch?
Well it varies from car to car whether or not you have a modular clutch. I have a 95 and I had a modular clutch. I changed it to a non-modular clutch by buying a fidanza aluminum flywheel from howell along with a SPEC stage 3 clutch. If I were to do it all over again though, I would just buy a 1995-1999 stock neon flywheel, have it resurfaced, and then just buy a nice pressure plate and a ceramic clutch disk. The only reason I say that is because its a lot cheaper to do it that way haha.

Im sure if neon clutch will be cheaper, but it is stronger or weaker than our stock clutch, and about PT-Cruiser im sure it stronger than ours. $260 is including the flywheel or not?
Matt, what about Fidanza flywheel, it give you very nice gain? it help your 1/4 time?
It's hard to say because I had numerous things done to my car at the same time that I installed the flywheel. But... I droped the compression to 8.6:1, I had a 5 angle valve job done on the head, had it ported/polished, and installed the fidanza at the same time. The car is now definately quicker at 7-8 psi than it used to be at 7-8 psi. I am sure the flywheel had something to do with it. One thing that I noticed right away about it is that the engine will rev and de-rev a lot quicker.

the aluminum fly wheel will note a ncie gain especxially in revs and 60's i would assume maybe .1-.3 in the 1/4
