Clutches......
 

As my clutch has now started to slip, will be changing the clutch kit and fitting a lightened flywheel.
Which products have you guys/girls used and would recommend? Paddle clutch or normal type?
I'm running 350 and will be looking for more soon, so need something up to the job.

Rich.

Re: Clutches......
 

Excedy and Flywheel from API engines.

Robevo5 had an excedy in his 2.5 and it felt like a standard clutch....but the improved clutch then caused 3rd gear to strip as previous clutch was giving gearbox and easy life.

Do they do them? :paranoid:

Re: Clutches......
 

You running a 6 spring or 4 spring centre plate?
If it's a 6 spring you had an judder issue's?

Re: Clutches......

Spoke to someone at RCM monday morning and was quoted £942 for a flywheel and clutch kit, was told there didn't have the flywheel in stock but they might have them down there machine shop....i'll give them a call now for you and call you back and let you know....thats what i was told.....

Still waiting....

why can't people be bothered to keep promises??? dont they want to make money or something???

it really bugs me :rant:

Re: Clutches......
 

thats alot of money.
Pretty sure the Exedy are around £400 plus about £120 for the flywheel when Rob got his.

Give PI a call IIRC they can also quote what clutch can take what power....

Your stock one hasn't done bad, and I'm only running an ADL Blueprint OE style kit.

Re: Clutches......
 

Well after speaking to Mark @ Lateral (very very helpful)....he advised that they are having problems with the Exedy clutch, i.e the 6 spring organic's are having probs with clutch judder....so they brought out a 4 spring one which has cured the judder but cant take the power.
He is looking into me either fitting a 6 speed clutch (if poss) or sourcing something else for the same sort of price as the Exedy....just waiting a call back from him (the story of my life).

Re: Clutches......
 

Well....cant believe it (well i can actually), no return call from Mark so called him today.....sorry i forgot all about it, dont think im going to be able to sort anything for the weekend give Zen a ring (his words), do people not want my money??? what's wrong with people nowadays???

Anyway called Zen (very helpful), clutch/flywheel will be here friday...looks like i'll be going into work on friday (my day off) to put it in :nod:

Re: Clutches......
 

Blimy mate.
Sounds like you having fun.
Good luck.

Re: Clutches......
 

Finally got there....parts turned up yesterday so popped into work for an hour to put the gearbox back in :D

Now fitted with a Zen 54g billet flywheel and a Helix organic clutch....WOW what a difference, very happy with it :D

Re: Clutches......
 

Nice one mate,good to hear.

Re: Clutches......

Re: Clutches......
 

Yes indeed....still very happy with it :yeah:
