    • They have distribution here now - some dudes in Sydney, Hookitupco - Worldwide
      Otherwise if you can get yourself a freight forwarder you could get them here fairly cheap.

                • I got 50 bucks in my wallet

                  Nah, it's one of those things. once it's done, you wont have to worry about it, well for probably the life time that you'll own the car.

                  Don't forget, but now's probably a good time to do timing chains if they are getting close to being due...

                    • just fix it. Its not all bad. New stronger clutch, light flywheel and timing chains. It'll be good as new!

                      • It might even just be the cable being loose - need to get under there and have a look!

                        • have fun looking for that cable

                          it's hydraulic btw. It maybe be possible that your clutch fork has broken/snapped, if the clutch "all of a sudden" doesn't work. (as opposed to it gradually wearing out)

                          • Nah it was a gradual failure. I thought it was hydraulic!
