Question New clutch

Hi everyone,

The clutch on my DBM MY99 is slipping.
Is there any adjustments I can make or do I just go out and have a new one fitted?
If I get a new one which do all you scooby gurus recommend?

Thanks

Dean

Unhappy

Thanks for that Brun.
I've had 2 DBM scoobs & 1 STi, both clutches on the DBMs have been a little rough.
The clutch on my STi was far smoother, if a little heavier so I assume that was uprated.
Looks like it's new clutch time.

Andy McCord, l think you may have your Exedy adjusted / set up wrongly as we have fitted dozens and they are distinctly ' un-grabby '. Very nice to use and have superb grip. There is a cheap one available and a proper 'AP Organic' version, maybe thats the problem.

The cheapo ones for about 90 odd quid are exactly that.......

How much are the organic clutches and what difference do they make?

David, when u say adjusted what exactly do you mean?, the clutch was fitted at prosport, but the flywheel was not skimmed as peter does not recommend this, which is prob why i get a little judder, its a lot less juddery than when it was fitted (500 miles ago) but still slightly juddery.

I fitted a cheapo one yetserday, 94+vat. pmsl

the judder has gone and the pedal action is mucho smoother.

the car is also a 99uk and had a slippy OEM item on full (albeit uprated) boost.

the difference in acceleration is astounding now all the power is making it to the road (!)
