hi people just got my first rs turbo but have a few queries on the clutch well the guy i bort the car from says it has a sports clutch but he says it really needs a paddel clutch because in high revs it slips something bout the flywheel turning to fast for the clutch .

what clutch would cue this probs because it goes like hell then it slips

all help is great thanks guys

 

what bhp is it running

 

the guy i got it off says early 200's but i say 190+

AP Paddle if you don't mind it being a little firm on the pedal. Will not let you down though.

Funnily enough, there's someone not too far away from you that can help!!

 

cool where bouts???? i herd that the ap paddle clutch is not really designed for everyday cars there really only to be used for racing etc but thats what i got told. Do you think this will cure my problem with the sliping of the clutch in high revs because just as it picks up on then the boost kick in then it hits bout 4.5 -5k in the revs and just slips out and rev like hell ????
all help is preciated as not really clued up on these things yet i really want to get this sorted sooner than later
cheers bud

 

Well, we are in Norfolk too. About 10 miles NW of Norwich.

An AP uprated Organic will be OK, but a Paddle will be better IMO. Unless you are about 8 stone, you should be able to handle it OK. There are people on here running Organics up to and beyond 250bhp, but they won't stand as much launching IMO.

Converting to the later Non-ratchet pedal and larger quadrant will make th pedal feel lighter, if you struggle.

As always, I highly recommend a refaced flywheel when fitting a new clutch, I can help with this too.

I have used an AP Paddle that is further uprated to the 'normal' one on the road with no problems and currently have an Alcon 6-Paddle, which again is fine. Give yourself a couple of days to get used to it and you will be fine.

 

cool ok so where bouts is this place that might be be able to help is there somewhere in norwich so a AP paddle it is then does this place supply and fit the clutch how much am i looking at all in all
cheers mate
