Valeo is just a standard clutch as far as I'm aware. Unless they do a uprated version.

As above, sounds like a boggo standard clutch. And ZVH's tending to produce a fair chunk of torque will overcome this. Time to uprate

What Jano said although I believe some here are used a stock cover and bearing.


I have a Helix 4 paddle with the Helix cover. Jesus it is horrible to use. I understand that the above setup is far more forgiving.

I've got a 6 paddle and standard cover and its spot on, nice and light, not snatchy, little judder but I don't think vibratechnics gearbox mounts help.
