Question

Anyone recomendations a good clutch, not bothered about it been a little heavy or abrupt, but must be up to the job and last. Its for a 94WRX, not tracked but driven hard.

Cheers

Skippy.

I use an AP sprung paddle. Its a bit juddery (but that could be my flywheel).

used for Hillclimbing and sprints....No complaints at all ~ apart from its a bit of pig in traffic.

I got my clutch from PTS. It is their Group N organic clutch plate and cover. Lovely biting point, not vicious and handle 300 odd hp no problem (and mines a 94 WRX!)

From memory the clutch was about £400-£450 plus fitting. I got it fitted by my usual mechanic, not PTS, and I can't remeber how much that was!

AP do an organic non-paddle clutch which is absolutely awesome AND easy in traffic.
Costs about £400 plus fitting (another £150).

Question

Is the price for the full kit, cover and plate etc or just the plate ? Fingers crossed its for the whole lot, as i would always do the cover and plate together.

The bearing isn't included in the kit as standard, but the £400 should get you both.

The Helix assembly is 391.00 +vat and includes the bearing. Performance wise, nothing between these and the AP.

My Clutch bearing has gone after just 10,000 miles and one year on the road.(only have 1 year warranty).

Sounds like I am best to replace the whole clutch with one of these performance jobs rather than the subaru unit ?

My clutch is on its way out as well, my mechanic also recomended the STi unit instead of a UK spec. I think there's about 50 ukp in it.

I've also heard quite a lot of good stuff about the AP kit.

Just my two penny's worth

Darren.
