On a cold night I will get some clutch slip. I am just wanting to upgrade to a slightly better organic clutch.CheersXRT330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the trip to Warwick is a concern he'll be able to point you in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine died after 8 weeks.I now run a Mal Wood Option 1 clutch and it is great for my power level however I dont think it will take any more.Organic wise I dont think you will be able to get one to fit in the T5 bell housing as Mal has a 11" but its for a speed only.Best bet is to talk to him as he is a wealth of knowledge.BTW, I used to run a cerametalic before and what a big mistake. Not very drivable.There is always a twin plate that will fit. Its called a Wog Clutch and is well priced. A few peopl have them a are having good results.CheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
