I'm tired of trying out clutches that don't hold the power. Latest clutch is a 5-paddle cerametallic clutch in a S2 assembly. It just won't hold the power. The standard S2 clucth was even worse. Is there any affordable alternatives to the AP-racing clutch?

Alcon 6 paddle.

I have one in mine, its a smooth as a standard clutch but is so powerful.
Easy to stall the car if you don't give it enough revs.
No judder at all though.

What assebly/housing/whateverisitcalled are you using with the alcon plate?

I use an uprated AP 4-Paddle. Loads better than the normal 4-Paddle. Holds fine in mine.

what power u running bud? ive got an organic effort,gave my car a good thrashin over the weekend at a drag strip meet held up very well.imo a weaker clutch protects the gearbox.had a 4 paddle on my old s2 went through 3 boxes in 12 months never doing that again.

I'm running all the power the four greens allow. Having said that, I've never been to a dyno, so no idea really.
The rating for the heaviest duty AP-racing clutch is 230Nm which doesn't seem too much actually. I think I'll best ask Bernie, as he once said that he has found a good clutch type for the RST.

i just let the fucker out like its a fucked juddery clutch now, slip it as little as possible, works ok.
