is RockAuto good- clutch & material?
Hello, I was looking to getting a new clutch because I'm experiencing a hard 1st-2nd gear shift, transmission has worn of course, but; I had found some parts on RockAuto parts, theres a clutch kit in mind for roughly $260 and one for $340, which is better?; Ceramic or Steelback? There's some cheaper ones for $150-$200 market, has me thinking, worth it huh? picking up other small items like TPMS sensors, alignment bolt & plate, shifter bushing. Just wanted more perspectives, let me know please what you all would think.

Just pay attention to the brand you are buying and the specifications. They sell all types of brands, so asking if "Rockauto" is good is really vague.
Like this kit is basically the stock clutch. Exedy makes our OEM clutches. They sell LuK, Exedy and Asin, all known good brands. They also show M-Pact but I don't know anything about them. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...GOyJKraOldbJeX

imo the best place to get the OEM Exedy is Autozone, they usually have a 20% + free shipping discount going.
https://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/...005/820584_0_0 Current code: MARCHSAVINGS Price is like $215 plus tax right now, I've bought two of these kits from them in the last couple of years without a problem. I do buy an OEM Subaru TOB though, no idea if it is actually different or not.

Never mind sourcing parts, OP. Let's talk about how a stubborn 1-2 shift points to a bad clutch.
Unless something relevant has been left out of the story, I'm saying it doesn't.
