clutch can be expensive and something like an act clutch kit would be just the job but there are so many types of them it's hard to know which one would be suitable for you it's cheaper to import from America than buy from over here but i would do a search on clutches on Sn and I'm sure that would help you

I've found helix autosport padle clutches about the best i've ever used, made the mistake of putting an ap racing one in my scoob and it gave up almost instantly despite being recomended as a well up to the job replacement by a respected scooby specialist.

Depends on what you use car for, and how much money you wish to spend.

Daily driver, standard car................................OEM

Daily driver, circa 300/300 with light track use.......................Exeedy Organic kit.

Anything over and above, you should be looking for compition set up.

For info only, I have been using the Exeedy organic kit with a lightend and balanced f/wheel (supplied and fitted by API when the gearbox upgrade was fitted some 3+ years ago), has covered an estimated 40k miles and feels as good as it was the day it was fitted..

ACT do a 5 speed organic rated to 429ft/lbs of torque and the 6 speed rated to 515ft/lbs of torque.

Might be worth having a look to see how much they would be direct from the states
