Default Clutch query.

My clutch is on it`s last legs but I don`t know what to go for. I assume the one in it is standard and I`m happy with the `feel` of it. My question is, would a standard one cope with 340 bhp. I don`t track or race it and I don`t drive it like I stole it Cheers.

I`m not fussed about uprating. I`m not going for any more power, I just want something that will handle what I`ve got ;-)

if your car is the sti then yes the standered clutch will cope with that sort of power all day long.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get a standard STI clutch? Cheapest I`ve seen so far is £258.99!

Hi

Hope you don't mind jumping onto your thread?

But I am after a new clutch to fit to MY99 UK Turbo engine ready for when I put it back in the car. Car is standard tune, with not plans to increase.

Quick look around the going price is just under £200!!

Cheers

They are hydraulic so no cable to get caught the peddle might need a little greasing. Or system could be low on fluid or one of the cylinders is leaking/getting stuck. If its still pulls like a train without over revving when pulling off etc theres nothing wrong with the clutch itself.
