what clutch?

[T5frankie]

With the imminent arrival of my forged engine, gonna have to replace my clutch, whats best to cope with big power? my clutch was slipping a little in 4th on boost

[p fandango]

A good R clutch should be ok

[smithy]

Spec clutches are surposed to be good and helix too .

[T5frankie]

whats jim using?

[claymore]

What power are you hoping for?

[T5frankie]

What power are you hoping for?

i just want a clutch thats future proof so up to 600nms?

[claymore]

R clutch should be good for 400whp, I'm not getting any slip any more on mine now that it's bedded in.

[T5frankie]

would be the cheapest option to get an r clutch, just dont want to be pulling the box off again, and besides you only have 260bhp :uglyhamme

[Jamest5r]

My near enough brand new R clutch was letting go around the 500nm mark might be different with different turbo's, now running a 6 paddle helix.

i hope it dose other wise im going to be disapointed. my standard clutch for the 2.4 t5 didnt slip with just under 500nm. i had the R clutch fitted at 78k

Not as sharp as a 4 paddle but i wouldnt like to use it in traffic daily lol, need to give it some revs to pull off etc and near impossible to ride it so to speak

i had a 4 paddle helix in my rs turbo. my left leg was ripped to bits after a week. i only lasted 2 weeks with it. i worst thing i ever fitted and isnt for a mod for a daily driver in my opinion

My clutch slipped when I upped the boost, but it seems to have bedded in now and hasn't slipped for a couple of weeks (apart from the first run at Avon when it slipped in every gear...lol)

[T5frankie]

Make sure you check the clearances on the bearings, then check again and just to be on the safe side check again.
