sep tax march

after buying it ive spent ££ getting the car running bang on just had cambelt kit , service , new tsw alloys , imrc , 2x new lambdas so it stands me at good money and now the clutch is slipping

im gutted im not in the best money situations at the min and my mate said its gonna be £500+ to have one fitted he said il need a dual mass a master cylinder and clutch kit plus fitting so ive got to think about what i wanna do im not in a position to break it shame as the bits pull good money so do i cut my losses and flebay it spares or repair or do i byte the bullet and get it done ?

what do you think id get if i sold it as it is runs perfect clutch slips over 2000 rpm ?

im just stuck and dont know what to do

i'd have fixed it, you wont necessarily need to replace the fywheel although it is advised, for me i'd just fit a lightened single mass one, not much difference from dual mass in cost.
clutch shouldn't be more than £100 for a kit from a motorfactors (depends on release bearing of course)
labour should be a few hours, but not more than £100-150 i'd have thought.

i can't see it making enough money to justify selling it as it is, then again it's a catd so will put off alot of buyers.
