Default What Clutch and where from

Help, I have a 1991 4x4 saff stage three t34 rs500 cooler ect ect, its running a standard 4x4 clutch which is only a few thousand miles and is now slipping, what should i go for, I dont want it to slip but i do want to be able to drive the car in traffic (i.e slip the clutch) so a race paddle clutch is not up my alley so to speak, what does everyone else use?

Alcon 6 paddle mate, only way to go IMO

Can handle 450+ bhp and is fine in traffic !!!!

If this isn't an option, try the AP Organic disc and cover !!!

Just remember to get the flywheel skimmed.

Yep.

6 paddle is the only one.

Plenty of traders on here sell them.
