Blown Clutch?

I have a new problem guys. When I try to accelerate, the clute is fully released and I still dont move until i push to about 6000 rpm in first. Then it is very slow and unresponsive. I also have this problem in all gears, where it only responds to high rpm at a slow rate. A friend of mine who has a standard, says yes its my clutch. There is a smell, like burnign rubber (almost, hard to describe). I am pretty sure it is my clutch. I just want to confirm with the experts on here. I was looking at the different clutches...what should I go with....ACT, Exedy Hyper Single, or Exedy Twin-plate Cluth/flywheel? What are all the replacemt parts I need? Friction disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, alignment tool, and flywheel? Do I need all or just part of these parts? Money is a small issue right now as well. This is my daily car so fixing it as fast as possible is also a requirement. Thanks for your help.

sounds like clutch to me if you smell it. all you need is the clutch, TOB, pressure plate, and resurface the stock flywheel if money's an issue. i'd go with the ACT if money's tight as well since the exedy's are over a $1000 usually.

Definitely a fried clutch. Personally, I'd just go with an ACT and resurfaced flywheel like was stated above.

Here is a poll about clutches to look at:

With the clutch blown, if you have been reving the motor until the clutch is slightly engaging and you smell clutch, the flywheel is going to be toast. I don't know if it is going to be salvagable by resurfacing.

look at www.lancershop.com I have done many business with them. Prices are good, must importantly they are always on time. I just puschased a Clutch master Stg1 kit and a Pro Lite flywheel from them. It should be here tomorrow and in my car running firday night. I will let you know how it turns out. I haven't heard any bad clutch out there except for the stock one. I went with clutch master because they have been around for a long time for many different cars and never have any bad products. Good luck

ACT all the way if you are tight on money. Good clutch, inexpensive. Or go with another stocker, i believe you can buy them on prostreetonline.com for even less. Be careful about heating up that flywheel from revving it up. If you cause heat cracks, you'll have to buy a new flywheel and not be able to resurface your current one.
