My clutch is slipping badly when under load on my PD130 with generic mapping.

I cannot afford to purchase a whole kit.

So my question is, if i were to purchase an uprated pressure plate from sachs, or allard etc, would it fit the rest of my OEM setup in the car already? so i dont need to buy a sachs friction plate, flywheel etc?

I know i will need a new release bearing, but will it fit?

Thanks

It is the labour that will cause you the pain, so I would definitely do the whole kit.

If that means a bit of short term pain, then I'd take it, because you can almost guarantee that something you didn't replace will fail and you will end up with a big labour bill again :(

Hmmm. In a worn out clutch, it'd be the friction plate that'd need replacing first. If the clutch is slipping because of too much power, I can't imagine that changing the pressure plate would fix it on its own either since they probably use a friction plate with higher friction coefficient in the uprated clutches rather than just relying on extra pressure from the pressure plate. The friction plate would normally be the cheaper item, as well...

I would sincerely hope you wouldn't need a new flywheel, unless the mounting is different. Again, I'd hope it wouldn't be, but can't be sure - why not PM AwesomeSarah?

well its done 2k on a remap, 39k on clock. If i have to buy the whole kit ill take the map off. Can't justify putting a performance clutch in when its gonna cost

I agree with nick when he says that the friction lining is likely to have taken a beating and be the part that has given up.

Most of the cost in fitting a clutch is labour, the parts themselves are cheap by comparison. Because the whole thing needs dismantling no matter how much you replace, its a false economy to replace just one part.
