    Sachs SRE clutch for 3B S2.

    As per title, I'm after a new clutch, mines about fried after a couple of thousand miles of RS2 spec.

    I'd like Sashs SRE kit, anyone got one they'd like to part with, would also consider a seperate pressure plate.

    Failing that, who's the best bet for a new one?

    Just had an LUK banged in my 3b due to not being able to source a sachs. Holding up fine with the right side of 300brake but only done a few hundred miles on it so far.

      The way the torque is delivered with RS2+ spec is more of a problem than outright BHP, the power delivery is pretty brutal so I feel it requires something with a bit more bite than stock for long term reliabilty.

      Sachs list it on their site still, I'll buy a new one from them if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere.

        Mine is a K26 Hybrid, so not as torquey as the RS2 i think but the place that did my box and clutch waited weeks for the sachs item but it seemed to be on indefinite back order. I couldn't wait any longer. Fingers crossed it holds up, as I do have some doubts about it.

          My old RS2 setup slipped every clutch I threw at it until I fitted the SRE pressure plate. South bend do some strong clutches too.

              That's interesting, where did you get it from Alex?

              Cottis, thanks for the heads up with the delay from Sachs themseleves

                You can buy it cheaper than there, stick the Sachs part number into google ;-)

                      Arrived on Tuesday so that's a pretty quick turn around, looks like a sterdy bit of kit.

                      Thanks for the pointer Nesshead6
