Default Which hydraulic clutch is best on a T5...

Reyland do one that acts on the O/E arm and bearing and Burton Power also do one that sits where the O/E bearing did and replaces the arm and bearing. Which type is better in your opinions and which is better value for money?

Any other types and manufacturers available?

I only have experience of the Reyland one, and it is one of the best mods I had done to the car . Clutch life is doubled and feel is vastly improved .

When comparing prices you should be aware that mine includes the pedal end too.

Ł300 supply only or Ł575 fitted, all plus vat. Nice if its done at the time of replacing the clutch as fitting the clutch would be FOC...

martins is a better idea cause you dont need to take the box off to remove the slave cylinder

btw the conversion aint hard to do if your a little handy with spanners and get a push slave cylinder

the pedal end aint that hard either and the fiesta resivours aint that expensive too

but for 300 quid,,,, is it worth the fucking about

well thats a no brainer then Martin, just seen your product, flywheel is tempting too, do you do a heavy duty clutch cover for my 6paddle AP?
Is the arm available exchange, you have them on the shelf or you need mine to mod first?

My engine and box are out the car at the moment anyway - worth doing for an AP 6 paddle and uprated pressure plate?


Mike, fook off - Easier to get it from the horses mouth so to speak

Mark - I've driven Mike's car with Martin's conversion and it's fantastic. Transforms the drive of the car.

On 2wd belhousing and arm are exchange items which can be sent out before old units are returned, a charge is made for this but is fully refundable on their return.

A std 2wd weight flywheel will be fine.
