Default What clutch?

Just been out in the car and the clutch is starting to slip.
RWD Gplate Sapph 310BHP 315LB FT Torque. Any ideas on what clutch to look for appreciated.

helix or alcon do a 6 paddle i believe and should be plenty for whay you want..
there are LOADS of places that sell them to be honest your best picking up a coppy of fast ford or performance ford and ringing round the tuners/garages that stock them to get the best price!

I have exactly the same spec as you mate.

I run an Alcon 6 paddle with a standard cover.

Speak to Mike R on this board, or look at his website

www.randbmotorsport.co.uk

as he does a good price on them.
