Hi all, im running stage 3 Escort cos about 330bhp. As iv only just converted the car from small turbo to T34 was wandering which is the best clutch to fit?

As far as i know there is just the standard 1 in there at the mo. Seems to be holding ok, but am a little worried it aint going to last long.

Any suggestions???

Anyone??????

 

Nobody puts uprated clutches in cosworths then???????????????????????????????

 

i wouldnt buy a paddle clutch again,
try a organic sachs plate with a stronger cover.
lives 10* longer than a paddle clutch
and is also fine for 350 bhp.

Organic AP was what was recommended to me for 350BHP.

 

mines stage 3 with alcon 6 paddle and heavy duty cover, lovely clutch not heavy at all, brought from Mike Rainbird

 

I’m running 330 and have an AP organic plate and cover, bought from GGR. Been running it for four years now without a problem. I drive the car everyday, and give some on the back country roads.

 

if it aint broke dont fix it! - i know of peole who run standard clutches with more power than you're running

dont spend money unless you do have too

provding it aint slipping, dont worry!

 

use a 6 paddle alcon with hydro clutch conv. fantastic bit of kit

 

....for ~20.000 miles.
after this you need a new flywheel,cover and plate :-(
