CG clutches...

Hi there,

I've got a problem with my car where it's severely vibrating, which now seems to be pointing at the DMF, so I might aswell fit an uprated clutch at the same time as the DMF as I'm probably going to get an Angel map in the summer.

I've read good reviews about the CG clutches people use on here from ebay, so I thought I would ring up the company to see what they say and whether the normal JTD one they do fits my car as it's a 20V multijet. Clutch Kits UK - Sports Clutch Kits, New Clutch Kits and Performance Clutches - Clutch Specialists

I phoned up the chap who was really helpful and he's offered me a 5 piece racing paddle clutch for £260. I just wondered if anyone else has used these rather than the standard uprated clutch for £160 or so!? The only thing slightly concerned me is that he quoted the max figure in bhp, not torque which is what I understood clutches to be rated in?! He said 350-400bhp, mine after a remap should be somewhere in the region of 225bhp and 350lb/ft.

I'd guess the paddle clutch will be stiffer to operate, but should hold better?!

Any thoughts about this at all?!

Cheers,

Mark
