    I've read alot about the Spec clutches and everyone that has had them installed likes them alot. When I had my clutch replaced I got a good deal on the stock part so I went with that. Ive put over 6000 miles on it already and it grabs just as hard as when I had it done. I saved some money and the performance of it has been great. I got a new flywheel also, you may want to consider doing that as well.

          I pulled out my Ac Delco books and found the clutch kit for an 88 Trans Am to be part #381151, the flywheel is #388022 which you will probably be able to resurface like you said. There was a service bullitin in the book stating that when replacing the clutch in your cars year to check the clutch cover mounting bolts working themselves loose. Hope this helps
