Default Paddle clutch

While my engine is being changed i'm replacing the clutch but i've heard a paddle clutch is very on/off and hard to live with. The car will be 400bhp ish so what would you guys recommend?

ive used the AP 6 paddle for several years now with no issues.

it is a bit more harsh than the standard clutch but it takes no time atall to get used to it - im sure you will be able to live with it happily.

Mark, has your car already been converted to hydraulic clutch?

I've not got the hydraulic conversion yet coz i'm spending loads on the engine a getting it in the car and running but as soon as i get some more cash i'll take it upto Reyland to be converted.

Will a paddle clutch be ok with cable then ? (probably get the motorcraft cover)

you will be fine with the cable mate, mines been used with the cable for a few years.

i ws only asking if you had hydraulic as i know it makes it alot lighter.
