I have a 3SGE Beams in my SS-III that I presume has the stock JDM clutch in it

My clutch feels like its on its last legs its not slipping in everyday use but if I do put my foot down it doesn't slip but it does stink like burnt clutch sometimes and it releases and grabs right at the very top of the clutch pedal pedal. So what I was wondering if when I do have to replace it if you have any recommendations of what clutch kit to get (as long as it can take a hammering) and whether you think its possible to do in the garage myself or if I should take it into a shop.

and if it is worth getting a clutch kit with a new flywheel and the whole shibang or just get a stock clutch disc and if there are any guides on how to do it as I have never replaced a clutch before.

what transmission do you have, do you have an S series or an E series? OEM clutch is probably your cheapest option. dont get a cheap ebay special. I highly suggest a fidanza flywheel but its not necessary, just re-surface yours.

if you are due for a timing belt, i suggest doing that at the same time, and replacing the water pump. if you need to do those, then i suggest pulling both the engine and trans.
