Default Clutch recommendations

Hi guys, noticed my clutch slipping when on boost on my 4x4 saff, which would you go for?

Cheers Jason

I would look on the Reyland site as he has lots of recommendations on there.

Generally a helix high pressure plate and paddle clutch is the norm but you need to consider the hydraulic clutch conversion as it can be heavy. He has less heavy options depending on the power that you run. The ap stuff is less heavy

Hi Jason , depends on what sort of power you are putting out. I run the Helix 6 paddle clutch on my 450bhp 2wd saff with hydraulic conversion and it works fine.

I think at 330bhp you would get away with the ap one as long as the torque isn't bonkers low down and you don't have plans to go bigger. I would still do the hydraulic conversion anyway.

At 330 a helix organic clutch will be perfect
