Default Rs Turbo Clutch Help.

Morning all, the cabbie needs a new clutch...........

After killing 3 standard ones over the years with some spirited driving I've decided to go down the AP route.

Someone told me last year that i could run a organic plate with a standard Ford cover. Is there any benefit to this or should i just use the AP cover and bearing too?

running the standard cover is supposed to make the pedal feel lighter.

i have no experience of this though.

I ran an AP Organic kit on my old FRST. Was spot on, never slipped despite the caining and it was nice and light in operation

With the 4 paddle i was just concerned about the 'on/off' feel you get with the biting point.... With the standard cover is it still an issue?

I'm assuming you get all the benefits but none of the 'Geoff Capes' leg! lol
