Default Clutch advice...

Hello all.
After some advice, Clutch is showing the first signs of slipping.

I find at around 80mph 6th gear - say for talksake 5k revs, under hard acceleration the car would go from 5k revs to 5.4k revs then jump back down again, sort of like its wheel spinning.

Only noticed it in 6th gear..

Now clutch advice I seen this on eBay and though maybe worth a shot? :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3014866469...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

What do youse think? (I don't mind paying more for a better clutch, just though if this does the job, why not?)

At the moment the car is 321bhp with Launch Control.
I have a new turbo that is going to be fitted in the next week or so, aiming for 360/70bhp, I will be keeping the launch control too

So for anyone still reading, what would you recommend?

Thanks, Matthew.

Guessing this one is probably the one to go for, says it can take 40% more power than standard.....

Leave well alone is my personal opinion.

For not much more you could buy new from bob at aztec or alyn as performance. Both traders on here and i've bought off both.

That's probably more than you actually need.

Give them both a call Monday is the best advice I can give. Aztec usually give us all some really nice discounts so worth checking their latest threads prior to ordering from their site.

Just though I'd update.
Rang about and got a very good price for the clutch I want from Alan @ AS Performance, so I will be placing my order with him.
Very nice / knowledgable guy
