I have just taken the clutch off my flywheel and found it to be an ap racing one with the clutch friction plate itself looking almost new. in the middle where the input shaft goes is a bit wobbly compared to the new black doamond clutch i have bought. I will need to skim the flywheel and the black diamond clutch is larger. Do you recommend keeping the ap one using it as the plate looks soo good, or just fit the black one?Also why is it larger than the ap one?

is it off a s1 if so it will be 200mm a s2 one is 220mm

what mods u got on car any idea of bhp at flywheel? these are the factors to consider when buying a new clutch!

If you have 2 different sizes of clutch you NEVER fit the smaller one, BUT if as said you have say a 200mm clutch and your new one is 220mm then you are going to need a flywheel and clutch plate that will accomodate the bigger one, i expect if you put your bigger one on the pressure plate it hangs over the edges....

yep measured it, 200mm. Got a 220 flywheel for 20 quid and am putting my black diamond clutch on. i have some wierd gearbox tho. 85 mph in 5th gear at 4k rpm what?????should I just put an xr3i box in the car or is the rst one worth getting and will the lsd make it a pig to drive???
Im getting it setup for about 180-190 bhp when i get my new front mount.

What box has it got now? Its a series 1 i presume?

S1 boxes do have very short ratios, mine hits the rev limiter in 5th just over 130 on the clock.
