New Clutch Kit Required

[schoona]

It's all the one assembly sol it would have been done


I have funny problems, the slave has had the finger pointed at but I think there's more to it (as does the mech who installed for me), which isn't being recognised which has left me a bit fdisappointed with this kit.

I hope it is only that assembly, I struggled to find anyone who would fit it, let alone anyone happy to strip and rebuild a box!

i had a LUK Clutch kit fitted to mine felt fine and handled at least 70 KM odd of daily driving plus some hard driving on the track and towing. where as the original let go at 70 but that was the pressure plate and not the clutch which still had a half life.

my clutch kit + labour was about 1400 or so...

hi all just an update

things just seem to be going from bad to worse ... now the gearbox bearing has faield!! back to the doctors to get fixed only to discover that the bellhousing has cracked and leaking onto the new flywheel
so i have taken it to various welders and pretty much have been told its extremely hard and cant be guaranteed how long it will last!
Anyone know where i can get a replacment bellhousing from??

cheers

Pretty sure G60JAY has a gearbox in his garage. Might be worth a PM to ask him.

hi matey. I was in Exoticars today just shooting the breeze with Arthur and was sure I saw your car there. Obviously it isn't your ride as such, but we did get to talking about whether a bell-housing can be repaired etc and they recently did an amazing job on a bell housing for a Audi S4 and it looked like a top job. I'd definitely be getting a second opinion from Arthur before shelling out for a new box.

I know arthur does some great work... not shelling out for a complete new box jus need the bellhousing

Guide for bleeding clutch (and brakes)

Sachs HRE or Clutch kit installed last week....

Bad........Ass, heaps of clamp force, single mass lightweight flywheel, a bit of chatter at idle but barely, and definitely driveable.

I think i would never buy another clutch, the only issue i have with it is i cant stand at the lights with my foot on the clutch too long cause my leg gets sore, its one heavy pedal. Feels similar to oem but 200% as good and 50% of the cost......

Is also usable with stock release bearing.

That is all

they are absolutely great and the car revs so much more easily and smoothly, i would recomend to everyone.

Southbend make good gear if you're looking for an alternative (email me about that).

Haha you want to try a Hayes triple plate pedal clutch like the one in our Dragster! 80kg Barbell squats are easier than pushing that thing in.
