Yeah it is cheap. Changing a clutch is either expensive to get someone else to do or a pain in the ass to do yourself, so I wouldn't scrimp on the clutch otherwise it might be needed to be done again soon.

I bought my clutch for £16 :? Replacing it was a ball ache of a job. I'm very nervous of how it's going to turn out :lol:

That's about right for a Nipparts clutch kit. Not bad quality either. :D
