I am using a clutch for a 1990 3.0 liter SHO Taurus (Yamaha V6 engine)
It is a dual friction design.
235mm diameter.
I am using it on a modified Escort 1.9 flywheel.
Hopefully will stand up to some abuse.

6 paddle clutch hard to get.4 paddle should be fine at your bhp,as long as the preasure plate up to the job.its about what torque you pull thats important.ap supply a none paddle clutch for over 300quid,organic me think if you worried about paddle.trouble with paddles are they dont last long,traffic kills them quicker.hope that helps
