    New Clutch

    Sorry MUZ, I just checked my reciepts lol the reason why it cost me 1200 is cos the dickheads at ford charged me extra to get my flywheel machined which cost $70 and they charged me for just ripping out my gearbox to tell me that the clutch was fried. otherwise the clutch kit (clutch plate and pressure plate) cost $520 sorry bout that. its the torque that burns the clutch and 330kw with approx 750NM of torque is the max that this specific clutch can handle. Autotech themselves supply that clutch for $950 and when I told Joe how much I got it for he said that's cost price. im getting the Xtreme aluminium flywheel put in today that cost $210 I been told its far greater than the factory one. Car is almost finished cant wait to get it back on saturday.

    New Clutch

    Hi there guys, I have a Stock XR6 turbo but it is in the process of getting modified but on the issue of the clutch, I had some problems as well. my car had 40000km on it when the factory clutch started slipping and driving was not harsh nor were burnouts done on the vehicle however the wankers at Thomson Ford they wont replace it so I was on a mission to get a new clutch. They quoted me $2000 fitted for the factory clutch what a rippoff. So I had a look around and enquired with Joe from Autotech about what mods I plan to do and what clutch I should get he advised me the Xtreme Extra Heavy Duty Organic Clutch was excellent for up to 330rwkw and that it is excellent for street driving. So I went ahead and purchased the Xtreme Extra Heavy Duty for $800 from a supplier I found and saved $350 instead of getting it from Autotech. Ford installed it for me for $400 so fitted $1200 I saved $800 from the factory clutch and this clutch is way better. Pedal is nice and soft and the car just launches compared to the factory clutch. As my power goal is 300rwkw it is doing the job well. Should get the car back next week and taking it to Eastern Creek give it a run. If anyone is interested in the clutch let me know and I will get it to you.
