Hi,

quick question, will an alcon 6 paddle last longer than an ap 4 paddle ? car is a 250bhp erst and it will be 'normal' driving, ie. no hard launching etc.... (my ap 4 paddle has only lasted about 6 months)

also where is the cheapest place to get an alcon clutch for a erst ?

IMO you would be better going for an Organic AP clutch
i suppose technically yes the alcon should last longer/be less harsh due to larger surface area (esp to the flywheel! )
However i expect they would last a similar time if the car was carefully driven and wasnt 'stopping' and 'starting' in traffic

i have had an alcon 6 plate paddle on my car for over a year and it is fine and i have launched the fooker

I cant really risk spending out on an organic clutch, getting it fitted and then it slipping when I come on boost IMO I need a 'paddle' clutch of some type.

anyone know what sort of price the alcon 6 paddle is and where stocks them ? its for a s2 erst.

cheers, Duncan

Iv got the Ap 4 paddle in mine, if you do much city driving I would advise against it as its very off and on, better off with just an uprated road clutch.

yeah I do do city driving to and from work but as I said above, due to the power I cant risk fitting a normal uprated clutch and then it slipping.

any one know any prices for the alcon 6 paddle & suppliers ?

cheers, Duncan

Tims /Shings S2 runs an organic clutch (or at least it did) and that didnt slip.. and it has a hell of a lot more than 220 bhp

220TC

maybee, but I've heard of several other owners who have fitted the ap organic and had it slip with less bhp than me Where as, no one I know of has had a paddle clutch slip so I suppose thats the 'safer' option to go for, plus I can always turn the boost up, the car made 263 bhp a few months ago, i've turned it down though for the time being

cheers, Duncan

well this is a brige i need to cross these people are cossey owers i think the alcon is spot on for cossey users but on the escorts s2 alot of people say they just carnt cut it and the ap 4 padle is the best one but you know a ap one is either on or off no playing fannys with it plus in my s2 i drove it like i stole it all the time with 290 bhp and it fucked the clucth and fly wheel after 10 k this is ment to be the service life so i really dont know but also i dont think they can handal the power some one said that sunny had one in his and it just sliped well they are based at silver stone race track phone 118 118 and ask for there number
