mines on its way out, but at the mo , only bad on motorways , im going to get a new clutch to go with my new gearbox

there is a 3 peice paddle in there at the mo , i am 90% sure of that, but what do you guys reccomend i use as a replacement.

also , only comment if your in the trade, or have ACTUAL experience .

thanks alot doooooods

 

alcon 6 paddle, mine had 10k of 21 psi,not slipped once

 

where from ? how much ?>

 

ap 4 paddle in mine,its done nearly 9k with no problems on 223bhp

 

ok people , prices and places of sale wouldnt be a bad idea too...........

 

think my AP kit was Ł285. just try all the usual suspects,Burton Power,Woodford Garage Motorsport,Amber Performance,etc.

 

i remember when i had my 90 spec, way back in the day , people used to rate the ap paddle clutch [ organic plates ] how well would one of them suit me ? also i like the sound of the alcon 6

 

AP Organic [CP2000-8]. Its done 8k so far in mine with 226BHP no problems.

Burtons were cheapest for me with RSOC discount [Ł235 I think].

Feels just like a standard clutch as well

 

a lot cheaper than i thought , im thinking about the alcon tbh

 

Mr C and I both use these and they are ok, except when we use the Full Throttle Gear Shift, which is a bit of a bummer and means we can't use it. I think they are around Ł285.

Speak to APT (details in sig)

 

Is a paddle not a little over the top for 220BHP though

I know its essential for 300BHP but if an organic can do the job whilst lasting longer and being nicer to use and cheaper then I know which one I'd go for.

 

my alcon is a nice clutch to use, mine came from mike rainbird

 

how much is an organic kit?

 

I'll put my vote for the AP-organic. The pedal becomes quite heavy and a longer stroke is needed to release the clutch. However it's brilliant for an everyday car and takes the power well. Didn't really have success with paddle clutches.

 

So what can a Stage 1 AP clutch take is power wise and a stage 2?

 

Any experience of the 'new' AP 2000-35 kit?

"AP RACING CLUTCH KIT: 220mm CVH EXTRA HIGH TORQUE ORGANIC 298Nm 220LB/FT TORQUE" says Burton.

Or how much torque can the 2000-8 kit cope in real life?
"AP RACING CLUTCH KIT: CVH & ZETEC E 16v -1995 220mm COMPETITION ORGANIC PLATE
230Nm 169LB/FT TORQUE"

Aim is at ~250hp/300Nm if I decide to go that far.

 

My 2000-8 has coped with 200lb/ft for 8000 hard miles with no problems.

Don't forget AP will underate ALL there clutch torque ratings for warrenty purposes.

 

Me and Alex both have Ap 4 paddles Alexs has been in there ages now And stand up to 310lbs of torque ok

 

AP RACING CLUTCH KIT: 220mm CVH EXTRA HIGH TORQUE ORGANIC 298Nm 220LB/FT TORQUE" says Burton. this clutch is new for 2006 i dont know anyone who has used this yet the ap four paddle is rated at 169fbt but can handle nearly twice this amount
