Default Which Clutch

I know I have to replace my clutch it is slipping a bit every now and again, but I was going to just replace it with a standard one.
I have been offered a paddle clutch would this benefit me or should I stick with standard
I have got a turbo 2000 AWD with a couple of minor mods, decat exhaust and Blitz air filter

Can anyone offer advice

If your not going to be mod'ing it stick with an oem replacement. If there is a chance you could increase the power, then an uprated clutch is the way to go.

I would imagine that an organic uprated clutch would be much more drivable than a paddle clutch.

I will look into this, I don't mind parting with cash, but I want to make sure I spend it right

The only mods I have got are the 3.5 race exhaust with a de-cat, and a blitz air induction, can't decide whether or not to put this back to standard though

Mine is a runabout, so I do sit in a bit a traffic on the school run and going to work


Thanks for the advice, I will probably go with the OEM option, unless anyone else can convince me otherwise

Even the uprated 'std' options can be a pain in traffic API do a good one to their own spec, lot's of good reviews. Also make sure the place fitting the clutch take a good look at your flywheel and get it skimmed if needed.

Thanks bluebugeye ,

I will be doing the clutch myself with my mate, he's a good mechanic and fixes my car for free he has saved me thousands in garage bills over the years,

luckily I already though of the flywheel and 'here's one I skimmed earlier' I had a spare one in the shed which I have had skimmed ready, changing the clutch is a pain so I don't want to be doing it again anytime soon
