Default Techniclutch ???????

Anyone ever had one ? I am currently looking at a stage 1 organic clutch rated too 340 bhp . having killed two standard ones in a matter of months i think somthing a bit stronger is called for . Please don't tell me to phone David at API for an Exedy as I am looking for a cheaper option than this !!

hiya m8 yes i used them last year to purchase some front brake discs for my then subaru four pot calipers they were well made drilled and grooved items which lasted well up to the point when i sold them on and bought ap racing kit
However although i have yet to purchase a clutch from them i believe i passed on the contact details to MONEYS a fellow smacs member and he did buy a clutch from them with no probs! touch wood i don`t need one yet but prob will soon!
anyways they are based in blackpool and i have actually spoken to David i think his name was at techniclutch on phone with no issues! so i would say yes give them a try as one of the few trusted ebay members around!

I'm currently running a techniclutch 4 paddle clutch rated to 500nm torque and drives nearly like an organic plated one. No complaints from me.

yes i got the 4 paddle clutch as well, the only real problem i had with the kit was the thrush bearing was cracked but htey would swapped it no prob's if i had noticed it earlier than when i was about to put it on, i couldnt wait for a new one so re-fitted the old one.

If you do buy the 4 paddle be warned that there is a lot of bedding in, around 2k will do it and the initial juddering will drive you mad, if you do a few high speed launches though you will find out just how good the clutch is as it bites straight away an the car nearly snaps your neck

Might be worth doing a Google search on them before purchasing.
