Default What else to change in the g'box area ?

Going to be ordering a CTS Stage 2+ g'box soon, but wondering whilst the current box will be off, what else can i squeeze in there ?

I want to get a new clutch, and was told to get an AP organic clutch (as the car is used every day), but I just spoke to a mate who had a AP in his Scoob which went very bad ... aparently its becoming very common for this fault occuring.

Anything else in that department to change ?

Default advice

if you get an ap organic one make sure it the high torque version (organic), the clutch code has /35 in it. You will not be disapointed, believe me i have the same box as you are getting and i run that clutch. Make sure you get the flywheel skimmed and a new crankshaft oil seal for behind the flywheel (the big one).

Would that particular clutch be ok for every day use ?

Default clutch

of course it will mate its better than o.k its perfectr because its an organic one it is very light and user friendly. The reason i say get the high torque versaion is so that you dont have any trouble with a slipping clutch
