Hi guys , I have an rs500 suffering from low milage . Don't get me wrong great car strong engine but the cold clutch judder bugs me . This is combined with a low bite however when warm all is well . Is this typical or can some one advise a decent replacemt ( Like AP ) I'm not after a racing clutch but more comfortable drive that can take the odd thrashing . I do realise I'm may need to reface the flywheel . Last but least who is recommended to do it , as i cannot pretend anymore i can't be arsed to break my back and get it wrong . Thanks in advance .

 

hello.... seeing as you location says marlow your best bet would be MA Developments in marlow... people travell from all over the country to have mark work on their cars so your lucky to have them on your doorstep.. we trailored mine 200 miles to get their..

 

if standard to stage 3 power i would just go with a standard clutch and flywheel skim they last well so long as not abused with 6k launches and burnouts! other than that you cant really go wrong with an alcon 6 paddle, far better than ap's and are not heavy at all

 

Thanks for that good advice new clutch is on its way - i don't think theres much point in playing with the origonal

 

Hyd clutch converstion makes for a nicer drive all round....

 

see you are from marlow not far from you is kwr at norths estate piddington west wycombe guy called stuart will skim and balance your flywheel at a good price.
hope this helps.

 

Hi guys , i have done the work went for the AP organic clutch ( six springs ) kit. Went very well as you can expect crank seal gone which resulted in a quick dash to burtons. Result was great not heavy smooth power delivery . I was going to add pics but i can't ?.

 

Has the clutch cable ever been changed out of interest?! They become heavy over time cos of the heat from the turbo etc and eventually will end up snapping!!!

 

No not than i can see and the thrust bearing was really weak just old and the rear crank was oil seal was leaking , i also noticed i need to find a turbo to sump hose , mine is rock hard and weeping .
