slippunchdump Member 116 Member For: 19y 19d Gender: Male Posted 12/02/07 01:09 AM Share Posted 12/02/07 01:09 AM I was looking at upgrading my clutch. I have 250rwks at the moment but hoping to end up with about 280 - 300. I know the Mal Wood option 3 is a good choice but it is also a very expensive one.CAPA offer a Heavy Duty Cushioned Button Clutch with Aluminium Flywheel for $1260. I was wondering whether anyone has one, if they could give some feedback it would be appreciated. If anyone has some other suggestions that would also be appreciated.ThanksMichael Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32481-capa-clutches/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me about $800 fitted. Nice clutch with no shudder but it has heavier peddle feel. Mal Woods clutches are the way to go if you can afford it, I'd just save a little more if I was you. I think the option 3 is only about $1300 anyway. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32481-capa-clutches/#findComment-496402 Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippunchdump Member 116 Member For: 19y 19d Gender: Male Posted 13/02/07 12:19 AM Author Share Posted 13/02/07 12:19 AM sorry I forgot to mention I have a T56. I thought the Mal Wood option3 was 1500 just for the clutch. Can you use the original fly wheel with the option 3? Forgive me but I don't know too much about clutches. I get lost with all the different types!What is a csc? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32481-capa-clutches/#findComment-496626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the Alloy flywheel has got a steel running surface the heat generated can cause distortion between the two materials. I could supply the same thing for around $1000 but I just won't sell one because of the issues that could develop from that combination.

The cost is $1530 and this design is unique to MWA and was designed and tested by MWA and is the only clutch that will hold 400fwkw with absolute ease and is as smooth as silk to drive.
