clutch change
« on: October 29, 2008, 21:59:20 »
hello
after some mild green laneing on sunday my clutch is starting to slip, it only slips a bit as the revs only rise about 500 rpm then it seems to grip again. strange. the last car i drove with a slipping clutch rev-ed very high and only gripped when you let the revs fall.
anyway iv herd some bad things about clutches not clearing when fitted and having to do the job twice a real pain i bet
has anyone else herd about this, this includes valeo, AP and Borg&beck but not genuine, not that i can afford genuine parts
cheers mark

Well i fitted a AP clutch in mine and its fine. Been in there nearly 12 months

Dont fit valeo or borg and beck they are rubbish :cool:

Before anybody says borg and beck are not the same company any more.  AP brought all the design rights

I always fit Borg & Beck clutches (so quite a few). Only once ever had a problem with one. I've never yet seen a Valeo clutch that wasn't broken as opposed to being worn out. They are made in various countries, so it's a bit of a lottery getting a decently made one.

Well after the engine coming in and out 4 times in 4 days, and eventually burning out a stuck clutch (don't ask) I have fitted an ap item, I have to admit it did seem to be well made and fit the splines perfectly and smoothly.

Don't forget the release bearing aswell, paddocks do a 3 peice kit for around £69, that will include free delivery if ordered on line, 2-3 days delivery or a £5 for next day.

Check the crankshaft oil seal, if it goes, the symptoms are a slipping clutch as it contaminates the clutch plate with oil.
