Default RST - Organic Clutch.. opinions

right..

It would appear the the cover plate is sticking on the RST.. Nothing major, but gets slightly worse with heat..

Currently running AP4 Paddle jobby.. Keep hearing about this Organic ones tho.. Are they longer lasting? Saying that 3 years form a paddle used everyday, cant complain

Rather than replcae just the cover.. whilst the box is out, may as well replca whole thing I guess

More fookin money
so basically.. Anyone sell clutches? and what recommendations please

I run the AP organic CP-2000 [full kit including bearing/cover and plate] and its spot on.

The pedal is like standard just a little bit stiffer...I had to do the Mk5 quadrant to get mine to work.

My cars running 220 BHP and 200ft/lbs of torque and its not skipped a beat in about 6000 miles

Cheapest place I found is Burtons with RSOC discount at Ł220 although a dealer on here did my mate the same deal including postage

I've got a Helix organic in mine and it's very good for not slipping. It is a little on the harsh side though as Steve B and PON can testify

they dont come with the mk5 bits.

Paddle's shouldt be used on road cars. My organic has done 20k+ so far.

Go on the AP website as the part numbers are listed. You also need the pedal
