Killed My Clutch - Doh

Featured Replies

Some companys just quote telephone numbers! Its all about making their kit look the best!

Thats why i trust helix! They quote reserved figures but 99% of rally cars use helix clutches for a reason! I've had 3 on 3 pd cars and i wouldnt swap them for anything else! Coped with everything!

If going crazy power you can always uprate to the paddle clutch plate!

What sold it to me were the reviews. The only real "bad" ones I could find where from people complaining about the noise which for me wont be a problem, I just hope I don't keep stalling it with its viscous grab :p

No you'll be alright i taught my 8 stone other half to drive with mine! Not a problem

right guys my clutch is starting to slip on just a stage 1 remap. I'm not looking for anymore further power upgrades to be honest.

I haven't really got loads of money to spend on clutch & flywheel kit. Maybe just a standard Sachs kit or the Valeo smf conversion.

what do people think? are the release bearings not usually included in such kits?

Also how long do garages usually quote on labour time/job price? Just so I can compare when I phone around.

Thanks

Theres a couple of sachs race engineering clutches (work with stock flywheel) in the for sale section that will work for you

Around £300!

This clutch is for sale, it wasnt actually slipping but was a boost leak.

Helix is in and no where as noisy as people said :)

Yeah I want a full kit so don't have to mess around with buying things separate as knowing my luck it'll be the wrong part.

also in 1 of the threads it says the clutch is 7.5mm thick, what are they usually when new?

Try contacting Jabba who supply the kit mate, if not them try darkside as they should be able to supply the correct bolts ;)

With the Valeo smf kit, it says a concentric slave cylinder is needed. Is there a specific one needed or for example will the LUK one off ECP fit?
