Hi,

My clutch is on the way out, is it really not worth putting a standard clutch back in or are they ok for stage 3.

Cheers

Nope. AP organic at the very least. The standard clutch is a pile of poo now . It used to be more than capable of taking any power that 803s could dish out, and then Ford made the stupid decision of ditching AP Borg & Beck as OE suppliers and switching to Sachs. This clutch is now barely able to take stage 1 power .

If you can find a supplier that still holds old stock of the original Borg & Beck ones, then that would be okay . I was lead to believe (by Popeye) that Burtons still had some of these? Otherwise as stated, it is the AP organic clutch (see my website for prices).

Thanks for the reply Mike. So is the AP Organic the best match for a stage in your opinion?

Yes, unless you launch it everywhere, then you want the Alcon 6-plate paddle....

when i had a std clutch in mine on stage 3 power the clutch lasted 10k and 2 yrs of abuse altho i didnt really launch it hard off a standing start.

Got a Alcon 6 plate Paddle clutch now and it has been right as rain - no probs at all and i have launched the flocker a few times

ste.w.

I had an Alcon 6 paddle in my old saff. Top piece of kit, a little more expensive, but they are up for as much abuse as you can give em

Depends on how much you were launching it. I get 15k out of mine (but with hydraulic actuation) and NO launching .
