Clutch for a 2003 Corolla S

Hello, a while back my car started to acted up. Every time i change gear the car wont accelerate as it should.. it takes a couple of long seconds to accelerate accordingly to the shift/gear so it sounds like it's stock in that gear and then it pushes the car... not sure if i'm explaining myself. The deal is that at about 80,000 miles i already have to change the clutch. My questions is: what is the best clutch to get other than from the dealer? aftermarket or racing clutch... please advice.

Thank you!

Would you guys recommend ACT for daily driving???

Fidanza, Exedy, ACT; they all make good clutch kits. or if you just want another OEM-style replacement you can just go to a parts store and order one or get one online from like RockAuto or something.

ACT definitely. Southbend are very good clutches as well. Very stock type feel from what I heard.
