performance clutch c70 t5
hey there, my clutch used to slip occasionally when i floored the c70 and the boost needle indicated 15psi
but now its all the time :-(
every time i floor it now the revs just soar to around 5k and there is plenty of noise but little acceleration!
i have two questions really,well,maybe 3!
is there a good entry level performance clutch, not a terrible hard paddle thing but just an uprated grippier one?
2.how many of you on here have dared change the clutch on a t5 engine yourselves? is it a nightmare of epic proportions? i have a mechanic friend but we'll still be working on a drive, all though we do have a 2 ton trolley jack, 3 ton jack, ramps axle stands and an engine hoist,
realistically how much will i pay for a good clutch?
cheers luke :-)
so which clutch exactly?!
to be fair ive only done an ebay search with lots of different results, i typed in 850t5r clutch kit and c70 cluch kit, they all look and seem the same, there are about 3 different makes, one is an ac delco kit and the others simply say "oe quality!" prices range from £174 to around £220 no release bearing is mentioned??
now my c70 is an R reg 2.3 gt with plenty of mods and i appreciate all the bhp debate on here so although i have an rr printout for 309 bhp lets say its between 290 310, after all i have only taken it to one garage for a power run and i know that results can differ between garages!
so is it wise to buy any of these ebay clutches, are they man enough?!
can anyone point me to someone who sells a well priced clutch kit that should put the power down well?
thanks again everyone! :-)
