89 Civic RT4WD Wagon - Clutch Replacement

cogito

Hi,

I've got an 89 Civic RT4WD Wagon with 125k on the odometer. The clutch has been slipping for about a year and I finally am going to get it fixed. I called the local Honda dealer and they wanted about $340 for the basic clutch kit, which included the clutch plate, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing. This strikes me as pretty pricey. Can you recommend a decent replacement kit and where to buy it? I just want to get the car working properly again, no high performance mods, etc. I doubt I will have the car for more than another year, if that, so I don't want to sink more money into it than is needed. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks. The last one is for the 2WD model. Between the Exeedy and the Beck, are there any differences that might favor one over the other? The Exeedy kit has an alignment tool, the Beck doesn't seem to have one. Is it needed? What is the experience of folks that have tried these kits?
