    I need a clutch!

    While the head is off finding the mystery water leak, I'm going to take the opportunity to do the 6 speed conversion. So as the box is out I think I'd better do the clutch too.
    So I need an uprated clutch, maybe a Sachs paddle clutch if I can get one.
    Any one know where to go for one or any alternatives?

    Speak to Aelred. He has some from a new company that sound very tasty.

    I also have a clutch kit that Ant sent me about 6 months ago (Sachs i think), it didn't fit my 3B because the pressure plate came out about 10mm to far form the cover, but your welcome to give it a try.

    If you want it let me know and i can send it to you. Then if it fits or you can make it fit you can pay Ant for it

    Cheers.

          Foud one in germany for 395 euro's (you need to send the old one) then u become a clutch good for 650 NM
          This is a presureplate and a clutchplate.

              Aelred now uses SPEC clutch's, same as we supply. Just make sure you have the metal release bearing rather than the plastic item.

                  How much do these Spec clutches cost and for what Torque are they good?

                      We've only had problems with Spec clutches so far....

                      Sachs race are the best so far, I can do 7k launches with 245/35/18 rubber and get no slip at all, awesome clutch!!!!

                      Just my 0.02.
