Well, yesterday I was in 3rd gear turning a corner and I went to accelerate and it simply revved, so I slapped it into 4th and it did the same thing. I then somehow got it to engage and it has been driving fine since. However, I got that stinky burning smell which I would assume is part of the clutch. I knew the previous owner had torn it up..just knew it.

This is my daily, currently at 60k. I am going to replace the flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, and add the CSC delete kit all while I have it torn apart. Can anyone help me find good products? I have no clue what to be looking for as this is my first time working on a manual. It isn't a race horse and I don't plan for it to be, so something that works for daily driving and not a super beefy sport clutch would do me just fine. All opinions and advice welcome. Thanks!
