Are these any good for scoobies? I need a reasonably (?) priced road clutch and have been given a good price for a Sachs clutch.
Any comments?

Has anyone tried/heard of these clutches, or am I waisting my time?
Or is the only real choice the Subaru own, Helix(sp?) or AP only?

How much was you quoted for the clutch and who from where are they based,im getting new clutch next week £850 inc flywheel skimsome bearings i cant think of there name!.

Stef

£850??????
Is it gold?????
You should pay no more than £550 for ANY of the decent clutches, icluding Helix and AP, FITTED! A bit more if you want your flywheel skimmed, but not £300.

Tommy, does this include labour? This is about 2-3hrs isn't it? What rates are you paying?
The Sachs clutch price is £190 incl VAT plus fitting and skim if required,this the the reason I'm asking as I heard the are a good name (suspension bits anyway).
Any comments? Too good to be true?? When I slip my clutch on my car at the moment I can easily get it to smoke! It dosn't feel very strong.

STEF it's an AP clutch,they claim they always skim the flywheel ,quoted £450+vat for clutch £35 for a bearing 5/6 hours labour inc skim! alex they did'ent quote an hour rate but said they may be able to save me £50/£60 in labour if nothing goes wrong,but if i take the car willing to pay £850 im sure the bill be at least £850. tommy

Tommy.
Speak to Mike @ Scoobymania. He arranged for the fitting of an AP clutch for me at Charlesworths.
The retail price of the clutch is £360 + vat, the bearing was £50ish and the labour was £150.
His number is 0115 9133199.
