Default I need a new clutch, which one???

Hey People,

My clutch on the cossie is dead...it's almost gone..

Yesterdag i've got a slipping clutch in the 5th gear @ 140km/h (87,5Mph)

Now I think it's time to fit a new clutch-kit.

But, my question is, which one??? I want a clutch recommended for road use

I found some different types/marks:

- Sachs
- AP Racing (CP2000-9???)
- original ford (sachs????)
- Alcon
- OMP

My spec's:

Saph Cossie 4x4 stage II tuned ( 1,8 Bar turbo-boost +- 26PSI) with greens, Stage III T03 turbo etc

If anyone can give me some advise...please

Greetzzz
Bjorn

Got an alcon on mine with standard pressure plate so you keep the feel on the pedal had no probs with that same spec as yours.

I run a 4 paddle cerametalic plate, and i love it.

Im peaking at 26 and holding 24, and weighing only 800kg, i would get the worst of any judder asscoiated with these clutches. And its really not that bad at all, i use mine in slow moving traffic and it doesn't bother me at all, but it feels fantastic when you start giving some during fast changes, the bite is awesome.
Sure, the 4 paddles dont judder as much as the 6's due to the fact they have less paddles (surface area), but im glad i put one in when i rebuilt my motor...

Just my 10p worth
