Default what clutch for 500+bhp

had the sierra out today and what i thought was the diff or diff mount(severe juddering in 3rd n 4th)i have now put down to the clutch slipping

i will be replacing the diff and mount(possibly beam)as a matter of course but what clutch do i go for and is it worth going for the hydraulic conversion?

...i never had a problem with the cable method....mike r says on the 6paddle with heavy duty cover it can stick with the cable...i never had that on mine...just make sure you put a new cable on.

You should always put on new cables AND surface grind the flywheel with a paddle clutch . See my website for prices (inc rear diff mounts ).
