Clutch advice - which one? 850R

[Flatout Phil]

Clutch is getting thin - does anyone have a recommendation? It's a little mapped but not massively so - I drive it quite hard. I think the R has a heavier duty spec than a standard non turbo vehicle, but if anyone knows. Do let me know. I'll be replacing the RMS at same time - not that mine leaks, but you know what it's like!

Yeah the 850R clutch is the one to go for, that's what I fitted to my T5-R when I had to do the RMS, thought I may as well swap the clutch out while the gearbox was coming off.

Thanks Craig, Suddenly lots of those 100,000 mile jobs cropping up...it's getting expensive at the moment :(
Assuming that Rufe is probably the first port of call, or any other recommendations?

[Tomcat]

I'd go with Rufe bud, that's where I ordered mine from, gave me a damn good price.. though as it was a good few years ago I'll be §§§§§§ed if I can remember exactly how much,lol.

[Flatout Phil]

Cheers Craig - Oh it's a pain in the rear end.

[Tomcat]

Lol, I know what you mean, I was so dreading doing mine that in the end I paid the local indy to do it for me. Getting a bit to decrepid to be faffing around with clutches these days.

hard work changing a clutch on a t5

[Tomcat]

I remember reading up how long it would take in the Haynes book of lies and thinking "Sod that"...

I have a brand new 850r clutch and rms that I'm wanting rid of mate. I bought for mine but had a change of plans now. Drop me a pm if your interested.
