which way shall i go guy's or do you know of any other reputable clutch and if yes where and how much?

 

AP Organic is the one most go for

My AP organic is not the smoothest of clutches - but much better than the 4 paddle

 

We fit Helix. Both excellent clutches.

 

peter what sort of money to fit a clutch??thanks matt

 

£200 would be about ball park to fit one - depends how much grief they are....

 

I have got the Helix and it is very good, smooth bite and not heavy. Also comes with a release bearing, the AP doesn't.

Colin.

 

We charge £761 inc vat.

This includes:
Helix plate and cover
New release bearing
New spigot bearing
Exchange re-machined flywheel
New fully synth gearbox oil
All labour

 

thanks pete will be there after the x mas is all over

 

You might wanna try Mark at Lateral Performance as well...

...he has an excellent clutch, very high clamping pressure, really easy to use. Even the paddle version (there are two versions) is smoother than my AP.

but mark does not do fitting i am looking for fully fitted as i am lazy

 

Well, if your that lazy, buy the clutch kit from Mark, then go along to someone like Dave West at Risborough 4 Wheel Drive and you'll get the whole lot done for less than 700 quid all in!

I did...and belevie me the clutch is no longer the weakest link on my car...

 

No.... now its the gearbox

Here the authorised Subaru service uses Daikin medium type clutch(there are three types from soft to hard) as a cheap replacement option to the expensive OEM part and they told me that is much better than the Helix,AP organic,OEM etc, has anybody heard about this? ...don't mix it with the Daikin air-con though...

Tell me about the Gearbox being the weakest link

My car is off the road at the moment with a broken G'box...but not the gears, the selector rod on 3rd/4th sheared...even the fork survived

So the only bits not replaced in an uprated gear and fork set broke...bugger...

Editted to point out I am pushing the envelope with stock UK internals...and it's done 85k miles...plus I'm a little bit brutal when it comes to changing gear
