Had a helix fast road clutch delivered this morning,in helix boxes etc.
When i opened it up to take a closer look the part number on the pressure plate had been ground off.
And the clutch plate was an LUK item.....

Surely this can't be right.......

I am after a clutch to handle 380bhp but dont want the judder and snappy take up of a paddle clutch.
Can anyone recommend something.

Also because the clutch was slipping badly when i got the car the flywheel looks like it has got hot . it is not grooved in anyway, and i am sure they are hardened.
Can you skim them or will it make it wear out quickly as the hardening will have been removed,

Hope someone can help, at a bit of a loss with the clutch now.

Cheers

Helix Organic Clutch Kit uses Luk plate.
I have this kit installed on my car (stage3) and I saw that:
1. clutch pedal is having almost the same feeling like the original item
2. when you select a gear and start your car you will feel that it disengages more suddenly than the original item
3. when you are on full throttle and change gear you will notice that the clutch doesn't slip at all
This kit can handle upto 47kgr of torque!
It's the best kit you can buy for a 400hp fast road car

Well I disagree ... I'm very disapointed with Helix ... as it couldnt handle my stage 3 powered Sapp. event though on paper it should handle it with ease ... and yes I know how to mount and bed in a new clutch .. (been through a few in my 18 years and 345 000 + km of Cossie ownership LOL) ... but to be fair to them I later found that the cover is faulty (only hitting the disk in about 10 mm all around) ... problem is to get in toutch with Helix ... (mail and phone tried) ???

Car has been of the road since then and looks to be until next year due to this ...

Best clutch to date must be the Alcon 6 paddle setup ... if it was not for the bad feeling when doing city driving and in a slow moving que ...

My helix fast road clutch can handle the torque on my RS turbo 260lbft, but the biting point is on off and very very snappy! So much so i had to fit vibratechnic engine mounts!! no one else can drive mine trying to pull away, i have got used to it but i hate it......

I used to have a Helix 6 paddle clutch plate with a standard cover in my 4x4 cosworth running approx 370-380 bhp and about the same torque and never had a problem.
Can't remember if it had LUK on it though.
