Performance Clutches

[Cormac]

Well my cars in the process of frying its 2nd clutch in the space of 10,000miles, to much torque for the standard clutch to handle.

Am thinking of getting a hardened compound Performance one, Heard of black diamond being good but any of u lot have any recommendations??

The cars a 1996 306 d-t

Turn the boost down a bit Cormac :-D

I just put a new clutch in mine a few weeks ago and it seems ok since. I take it yours is the one with the bearing attached to the pressure plate like mine?

 

[Cormac]

Yip thats the one, Gonna replace the clutch cable this time too have been told it improves the feel of the clutch paddle alot!

Also gonna fit a Cit ZX TD gearbox, ive always thought their close ratio, must check it out!

try a company called 'Helix' they should do a Helix cerametallic sprung paddle clutch for your car, i know they definitely do them for 106's.

Clarke bros. they will give you a clutch with competition linings and you trade them your old one too maybe, real good and a few of my m8's use their clutches on track cars and never had bother, reasonablely cheap also

 

[Bryan]

I've got refurbished clutches from them in the past and never had any problems. They really know their stuff and I'd highly recommend them too!

Last time I was there they were making huge 5ft tall brake shoes for some big barge on the Lagan!
