Default 2wd Cosworth clutch. 400hp

I think my clutch may be slipping. Going to diagnose properly over next few days. This thread is just preparing my for the worst.

Which is the best type of clutch for my 3 door Cosworth. Running around 380-400 with a T35 and 30psi.??

How much will I be looking at? Where is the best place to go for it?

Cheers Ross.

I was advised to have a genuine Helix clutch for my build which should see more power and torque than yours quoted.

I ran an AP 6 paddle with the heavy duty pressure plate on my 4x4 saph that was rolling roaded at 450 bhp and used hard everytime with no issues.

The only problem I have is that I struggle sometimes with how hard the clutch pedal is to push down due to having a fucked left leg with no strength in it after a motorbike accident but anyone else that has a correctly functioning left peg should be ok!

I've just switched from AP 6 paddle with AP heavy cover to a new AP 6 paddle and heavy duty Helix cover as recommended by Matt Lewis.

OMG it's so much lighter under foot! Can't believe the difference!

as said above alcon 6 paddle kit, seems to be a better pedal than the ap kit, & will easy cope with your current set up
