CSC replacement. Jwt clutch/flywheel

Just spend the money and get the upgraded CSC, you'll hate yourself if you don't. Wait till you can buy then install. Labor hurts

Do not, under any circumstance, put an OEM csc in, especially with an upgraded clutch. If you can't afford the part, you sure as hell can't afford to pay to drop the tranny twice.

That's the issue right now, i have a place where i can put all that in myself with my friend who owns a shop so im not going to paying anything in labor, but i'm moving Tuesday to Houston so once i am over there i will no longer have that perk. Unfortunately im going to have to drive my car out there so i want to leave with everything installed. Should i install the new clutch and flywheel and buy the hd csc once i have the money and pay to get it installed? seems like that would be my only option right now instead of buying the oem csc.

See, here's the thing- it's not just the fact that you will have to open up the trans again to replace the CSC. You'll have to, that's not in question. It's the other questions that go along with it. Did the car leave you stranded when the OEM CSC **** the bed? Did you have to pay for towing, etc? Did the CSC puke fluid all over the brand new clutch, ruining the friction material?

Don't bother swapping the clutch until you can afford to do the whole job.

This!! OP, you can't afford parts, so you definitely can't afford to install the clutch on the cheap and then have the OEM CSC fail and potentially ruin your new clutch
