Clutch?

Post by Bigmeat »

Hi.
When I had the engine upgraded to a 2.0 m10 last year the decision was made to stay with the existing clutch from the 1.6 engine as it didn't look too bad.

I'm pretty sure it's on its last legs now, and am looking to get a new one.

The car has a 2.0 m10 fitted, 4 speed box, running twin 40's, and around 170bhp.

Should I just go for a standard clutch, off ebay, or from w&n, or is it best to go to the main dealer? Or is there a better one that would suit the car better?

Thanks for your advice.

Al

Well I seriously regret getting a clutch set from WN as their release bearing is noisier after 5k than the oem one after 100k. Rubbish again and I hate having to do a job like that again. Cheap rubbish may be even worse... I'd go for OEM for such a job, defo.
