If you want something with similar performance to the OE clutch for not too much money, the Borg & Beck kit available from Autospares for around £80 is excellent value - although of course you'll have to either fit it yourself or pay someone else to do the job.

AP Racing clutch should cost you about £450 fitted at the right place - whereabouts are you in the country?

I have just had the AP Organic Clutch fitted to me import, no problem at all with it. I think the problems are with the paddle clutch which is on or off, so cannot really take much slip, so maybe hard work in traffic.

Chap called Rally Colin in Reading fitted it for a really good price - Tel 07771767874

Definately go for an upgraded one as scoobys do tend to be heavy on clutches
There was one that some one recomened on here about a year back that was cheaper than an AP but really was good. I will see if I can dig out the thread.
Best wishes
Steve

AP is good though and so is Rally Colin by all accounts

anyone got the contact details for Autospares, as I may sling a Borg & Beck in my MY00 if it'll fit.

You get what you pay for at the end of the day - Borg & Beck are ok but if you're up on BHP you'll chew 'em up pretty quick. Paddle can be hard going in traffic (know people who have had them and reverted back). Top of range AP going in mine this week - will let you know ;-)
