New clutch needed, where's best in south west?

[Namod182]

Hi there, clutch starting to slip. So I would like to know who you'd recommend to do a good job and a rough price please. May also have drive shafts replaced at the same time.
Many thanks,
Julian.

Dan@SJM in Street is very good, how far from you is that?

If midlands area go to TCR in Wednesbury.

 

[Namod182]

Not that far tbh. Was thinking of using Dan

Again, another vote for Dan@SJM.

He has just done the cam timing on my new engine along with a few other bits and bobs. Top bloke.

Hi Dan, that's great. How soon could you do it? Also how long do you need my car for?
Cheers muchly,
Julian

Monday 3/3 is the soonest I have, would need the car for a day (take the other half shopping in Clark's village whilst the work is being done)

I normally have Fridays off so was thinking maybe 07/03/14 but have other commitments on that day, the following week I'm on a course in Guildford. So might not be until Friday 21st March. I will get back to you ASAP when I know 100%.
But will definitely using your good self to fit my clutch. I also think this May lead other other jobs/mods!!!
Thanks for the quick response,
Julian

Lol was on the phone so didn't show the full title for some reason! Never mind eh thanks for pointing it out though:rasp:

Dan's a top bloke. Come say hi to him (and everyone else) in Exeter tomorrow night

 

[Budgie]

£350 is a f**king bargain for that.

 

[Chi]

At that price I'm tempted to drop the paddle clutch. .

 

[Chris_Beer]

I did mine myself... Wish I hadn't, but it's always nice when it comes out the other side

£350 is a good price as the clutch kit alone is around £100 plus the gear oil, plug washer etc, time, and any fiddly bits!

 

[Chi]

Good wage if your capable. .

 

[Dan@SJM]

At that price I'm tempted to drop the paddle clutch. .

Paddle clutch is +£100...

 

[Chi]

I ment go back to std as the paddle is a pain!!

 

[Dan@SJM]

You wouldn't want to run standard with the turbo power delivery.

Fair enough how long would it last?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Probably 200 yards while the turbo spooled up to it slipping.

 

[Chi]

$hit was hoping for a few k..

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep dan is right, paddle clutch is well suited but a pita. Standard clutch the way you drive, i give it Moreton cross, flol.

It wont, the first time you come properly on boost it will slip like mad.

You would need to turn the boost down significantly to use a standard clutch.
