Are these clutchs any good off ebay? If i got one it'd probably be the second one.

becarful, many are cheap copies

 

Or does anyone know where to get one at a good price. Only just started to slip slightly. Just haven't got much cash at the moment

 

Don't buy the Ebay crap I have heard to many bad things If you buy cheap you will buy twice.
Look in the traders section, Off the top of my head theirs Harvey, Bobs,ETC ETC.

 

Nationwide clutches as in your second link are a very reliable company. However, you are better off contacting PM'ing 'Harvey' on here and asking for a quote for the same clutch as he sometimes uses the same company to supply for him but will do you a special deal . the company/clutch in the first link i would avoid.
BTW Harvey is a real enthusiast, builder,tuner, fabricator, modifyer who has been on the scene longer than i've been on the planet

 

i bought a clutch off ebay for my old classic and it was faultless. I think the seller was called just clutches or similar to that. Check the feedback and make sure there has not been too many nagative sales. What year car you got?

 

Its a late 97 STI

 

'Just clutch' and 'Nation wide clutch distributors' are the same company.

 

Ive PM'd Harvey so ill see if he recomends anything other than that think ill go for the one from nationwide

 

As said above, Harvey deals with Nationwide/just clutch, but usually undercuts their advertised prices, and he will advise you on the correct clutch. imho What you need is a stage 1 organic Exedy clutch (as long as you are on standard engine torque).

Well as far as i know it is standard. I have imported it myself. I cant spot anything that has been done to it. It stays neck an neck with my mates Evo 7 which is supposed to be running 360bhp origanally a 260 but has had a couple of mods.

 

Just seen this one as well from camskill

If you are not planning on adding more power to the car or launching it etc then a standard exedy will do the job. for a bit more money you would be able to get a much stronger Exedy stage 2 organic clutch which would be future proof and last the life of the car. I think they are about £299 though. they have a strong friction plate and an uprated pressure plate to handle more torque and abuse

 

BTW camskill will probably charge you a tenner for delivery, so maybe Nation wide clutch would be a slightly cheaper

 

Dont really plan on adding more power. Just get used as an everyday car with the odd mess about. Was thinking on selling but would put a decent clutch in so know one else had any problems or i didnt sell it.

 

Is this one you mean

I had an Exedy organic clutch & lightened flywheel form API - was spot on & the pedal was lighter than std.

 

Right well ill have to get some money together and see if 'HARVEY' gets back to me. Everything always comes when you have to buy other things aswell. Typical!

 

tell me about it. I was saving for a bigger turbo but my boiler decided to die on christmas day

 

I think Harvey is away at the moment. But l believe he'll be back before the end of the week.

David APi

 

Deal with Harvey or David for a clutch.

You don't want to risk getting a cheap copy: it's a 4 hour job to fit a clutch on a Scooby irrespective of how much you pay for the clutch, so if you get a dud and need to replace it, any "saving" you've made is more than negated by the labour to sort it!

It's a definite "Do the job right first time, pay once", scenario.
