855 R ManualClutch 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!

Thanked 2,222 Times in 1,791 PostsYeah 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.

Thanked 2,222 Times in 1,791 PostsLol, 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.
