here's my problem,
i am putting a new motor in my car, and when i pulled the motor and the trans, i got to looking at my clutch, and it is burnt and very brittle..... im gonna put a new one in, but i have to order one. I want to get a DE clutch, but my pressure plate is in good condition. I want to know if the DE clutch is gonna work with the K8 pressure plate. there is only like 3/8" difference in the DE clutch and the k8 clutch......

It'll work. Either a full DE clutch kit or K8 pressure plate with a DE disk. Autozone has clutch kits for like 90 bucks, and it comes with a new throw out bearing and pilot bearing. just get a full DE clutch kit from autozone or ebay for that matter Exedy one.
