So before I put my tranny in with the clutch I got now, I took some pics of it to see if you guys could tell me if its worth putting back in, or I should just get a new one. So here it is and thanks for the advice ahead of time
Look below for links

I would as long as you have it apart. It doesn't look too bad but i dont like the rubber bushings.... the napa replacement has springs instead and if you get the kit for $125.00 (just bought one this week) you get a new throwout bearing, disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing (the one in the center of the flywheel), and the alignment tool which centers the disc while you tighten the pressure plate. I also got a new flywheel at napa for $42.00 as opposed to $25 for resurfacing.

forgot to mention that i noticed the rust coated flywheel in the background of one of the pics, you definately want that thing clean like a morror before you put it together and resurfacing is 25-30 dollars as opposed to a brand new napa one for only 15 dollars more. if you get the kit and flywheel for about $175.00 your clutch will be good for 175000 miles of normal driving. thats the mileage in mine and the clutch just went out.

Thanks for the advice, Ill probably get a new flywheel, until I can afford the fidanza one, but I will probably just buy a newer better oem one, I dont want stock but I dont want expensive staged clutch. So Ill look around but that kit is wicked cheap so thanks for the advice
