93 legacy SS. swapped my motor in, I was bleeding my clutch when the throwout bearing pulled out of the pressure plate snap ring. I thought it had snapped in just fine until i pushed the clutch hard. I couldn't get it to snap in again. I pulled the motor, clutch and found the circle clip was kinda warped and it further broke when I pulled it out. so I need a new circlip but now a whole clutch kit. Anyone know where I can find one?

Your best bet is to see if you can get a used one from someone. I'm not sure if you can buy just the clip.

What a PITA, you know theres a big box of them sitting somewhere. After calling the local centerforce HQ, They said they had the same problem with the only other legacy SS 5 spd in town when they lost it. That car was a twin of my white SS and kinda a whore being passed from one person to the next. The new owner of that same car lives down the street and just happens to have a used one sitting around. Stoked! Ill be getting it tomorrow and the sleeper will be on its way. I would hate to have to buy a whole clutch/pressure plate as I loved the stage1 organic exedy, although I paid 760$ for it 9 years ago its only got 30,000 highway miles on it.
