My 2001 Integra GS-R just turned 62,000 and I just started feeling my clutch slip for the first time today I didn't think my clutch would go out that soon, I guess I dropped it pretty hard a few too many times. It isn't too bad, I can get off from a start OK, it's just when I drop it into low gear or gas it up in 4th or 5th when I can really feel the slippage. I can still drive normally (no fun!), but I can't get into the power band RPMs (5k-7k). I was wondering if I need to have it replaced really soon, or if I could ride it out for a while. I do a lot of traveling for work and I would hate to get stuck far away from home because I can't get in gear. How long do you all think I can wait before getting a new clutch? Oh yeah, I also got a quote for $625 to have a new installed is this a decent (normal) price, or a rip-off? Any info would be appreciated.
-Thanks

i won't ride on it too much longer. once they start slipping, their wear begins to accelerate exponentially. i'd say you have AT MOST 2 weeks left on it.

here's a tip, buy an ACT HDSS (heavy duty pressure plate / street disc) and have a shop install it - may be cheaper, and its a better clutch.

the 625 is the price for a stock clutch installed ? thats high nows the perfect time for an aftermarket clutch upgrade

Thanks for the input, I think I'll get an ACT clutch. Cheaper and better than stock anyways.
