slipping clutch
I have been out for the day and on the return journey I noticed the clutch slipping whilst accelerating in 5th gear on the motorway. Could anybody recommend any garages in the greater Manchester for a replacement. I am based in Wigan so any local recommendations would be appreciated. I own a gb270 and I am also thinking is this the ideal opportunity to upgrade from the standard eom clutch ? thoughts please

Perfect time for an upgrade especially if your looking to squeeze a few more ponies out of your engine in the future,Exedy pink box clutch I would go for,can't help with the tuners I'm afraid wrong side of the country for me,but Alyn of ASPERFORMANCE I would recommend for the purchase of the clutch or bob of Aztec.SJ.

I can recommend this guy based in Lower Darwen, which is around half hour from Wigan.
http://www.ladsoc.co.uk/forum/viewto...3283e29e1f50fc Expect around £150-£175 for labour costs, plus clutch cost. Brian will point you in the right direction for a clutch too as he regularly buys ACT clutches, probably the best single plate clutch on the market. Rob |
500 quid for a pink box and lightened flywheel, sounds pretty reasonable. can anybody advise how much I would expect to pay for fitting?

Tell him you know me if that helps ;) I'd also ask him about clutch options and ask if has any in stock? he's a Subaru Specialist mechanic so he knows his stuff. Take a wad of cash though, as I'll guarantee he will be the cheapest on clutch installation, but you'll end up driving into an Aladdin Cave and your eyes will light up, the temptation is always there when I land over :lol1: Rob Ps check out his new project, classic "other" marque Subaru :D |
Minh temptation is a weak point of mine! I will give him a ring on Tuesday and talk through the options. have you ever used pro sport at Stockport?

no, although I did see a few cars stripped to the bare bones. Got me thinking what mods I can do next? LOL

hey Rob, bad news on this one, noticed an oil leak today coming from gearbox/front diff, not sure where it is coming from so gonna give cams a ring in the morning. Given the number of small dots on the driveway I would say it's been leaking since shortly after the replacement clutch fitted, Hope it's nothing serious.

gonna give him a ring tomorrow, do any ideas what it could be? I was thinking maybe it's just a gasket or sump plug? not sure what fluids if any he would of had to drain/ replenish whilst replacing clutch.
