Drop Yozza or fred on here a message they're working on one at the moment or drop MikeT a message as he runs an uprated one.

NO ONE, and i mean NO ONE does a replacement clutch

Wideboy Mike is running a std item

i'm trying to get one made

so are you making one?

 

[y0z2a]

yes and no.

we are developing a solution to the problem Klio, but No, we do not have a current solution to the clutch issue.

ap / helix & everyone else do not make one at the moment. The sadev trophy clutch is a smaller unit, so it is either standard replacement, or part of a larger transmission package.

If mikes runs 400brake and is on the standard one, whats the problem?

 

[klio]

sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox from the v6 trophy race car.

[klio]

so we can use the trophy clutch in the manual 6 sp gearbox?

he gets 1 launch out of a clutch before its dead i believe

 

[Smokey]

Clutch is definitely the weak point on the Vee!! Even without the monster power of Mike's the standard engine is plenty enough for the clutch. I only tried the 4k revs dump the clutch trick the once ... it slipped like a mofo and stank. Will definitely be a market for uprated clutches as we all start wearing ours out .

no, that is what i said up at the top. you can't use it, as it is a different clutch.

there is nothing on the market for the V6 apart from the standard clutch.

Uprated cover definately required - launching with standard is a one off affair even with as little as 300bhp - beyond that it even slips on gear shifting.
Huger do an uprated center plate for 500 euros - nice

The clutch is surprising weak. I just took it to track over the weekend, on the way there I was going 120-140mph for quite a distance, then when i stopped, the clutch was gone. The pedal was stuck to the floor. I rested it a little then it came back. Then on the track, every few laps it did that again. The clutch was just gone. I changed the Clutch fluid and it went away, but then the clutch just felt shitty afterwards.

 

[y0z2a]

they are pretty crap on both the mk1 & mk2.

[klio]

certainly. How much and where can i buy an original one though?

 

[Fred@BTM]

£160 from renault i believe (the dearlerships only pay £80)

 

[klio]

the whole clutch setup included for 160?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i think so

ask j3ned, he'll tell you

 

[klio]

i pm'ed him already waiting for a reply.

 

[klio]
