I fail to see how they can they can claim to offer 70% clamp pressure than OE without measuring it on a clutch dyno. Only one of them exists in Aust to my knowlegde and aint owned by this company. In saying that 70% is a little optimistic seeing as all the competitors are claiming about 40%. In saying that if you look down further to the add it says "valeo replacment clutch kits are approx 20% heavier in clamp than the oe spec" so how much extra clamping force do these clutches provide?? How did they measure it??Ohh xtreme XHD organic clutch is 100 dollars cheaper to, and is guarenteed to offer 40% extra clamp, I know forum sponsor Mal wood supplies a Organic face cluch for XR6T to, check him for pricing.

Guest Guests Posted 10/12/06 11:29 PM Share Posted 10/12/06 11:29 PM 70%!!!!! 70% extra clamp! wow! Another Valeo KitIm not sure what the story is but keep in mind a couple things.1. Valeo PHC is globally a mass producer of clutch components, however, to my knowledge, they don't delve into high performance/capacity.2. Valeo PHC is not an American company, they were once European, but now Asian.3. Claims of 70% are frugal, I'd like to know how they got these numbers, what testing did they conduct apart from maybe a basic clamp test.Mate, look around, whats the status of your current clutch?

Ta also to Adam, will speak to Mal Wood re his orgasmic alternative, Mal emailed me re his option 3 but it will take me months to get that kind of money together. So wish I'd got an auto.......

I somehow am sceptical about the ability of an organic item being able to take a huge shock. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if someone has actually done this with this item and the clutch has lived to tell the tale seeing as its spoken so highly of.
