I keep telling people to upgrade the clutch to something better and our option 3 fits the bill, it is quite cheap insurance! Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalI quoted on another two cases of clutch explosion just last week, so it continues to happen!!!!The standard clutch is just that standard, very sub standard!! Why was such a crap clutch put in a performance car and what were the so called engineers smoking when they decided the clutch that they chose was good enough.
