Default Cheaper clutch

Okay, don't like doing things on the cheap normally, but I need a new clutch for one of the cossies and didn't really want to spend out 300 odd quid on a 6 paddle, is there a substitute that would be adeqate for up to 400 bhp???? thats perhaps a bit of a cheaper option??

Dont think you'll fine much cheaper, your best bet is to fit a new Ford clutch as there good value for money and atleast it will last until you can fit a paddle clutch

Am having a re-think....i'm thinking not much point in fitting a cheaper clutch which isn't a 5 min job, and then doing the job again when we get a paddle clutch!! Guess its time to dig deep in the pockets!

Afraid your re-think is the correct way forward Nick, especially in a 4x4. The 2wd clutches last longer, but a 4wd has to be up to the job im afraid.
