ive heard it is possible to change the clutch without dropping the engine out but when trying this it seems virtually impossible, just drop the engine and you will have it done twice as quick, oh and the transmission is heavy, also what clutch are you putting in, im getting one at a discount price, two maybe cheaper, ill speak to the lad when he gets a minute.


as for the rev counter, try fiddling with the plugs around the coil and distributor, jeff.

im gona try one i found online it a black dimond power clutch a 130 notes
i have to see what happens with it if that goes i'll have to get a helix organic one for 300 notes

p.s do u know where i might get a good dial set from
as mine only goes to 110 mph

nice klee

I dont think the black diamond clutches are up to much in terms of handling abuse, best purchase once then the car wont be in bits all of he time, i dunno much about the dials mate, mine is an import showing 180kmh on the face, obviously this now reads in mph, maybe uk clocks would work from a sunny gti?? jeff.

cheers jeff think you might be right on the clutch thing what is the one you are going to get im now gona go for the helix organic in the long run i think i'll be better off at least i'll spend more time on the road than off ah i suppose you only get what you pay for in this world.

nice 1 klee

AP racing mate its one that has never really let me down as ive used them in a few cars, though i dont know much about the helix but if price effects quality it should be a good one, good luck, jeff

HKS super paddle clutch all the way mate. i got one. wouldn't have anything else. its not cheap but its the business price round about £460 HkS import solutions 01934 419666

Ap organic should hold just about anything you throw at it steer clear of paddles imho as the gearboxes don't seem to like them to much and there horrid to use day to day

Oh and the pucks brake off em too, plus they wear quicker if you launch a lot, so ive heard :roll:

Even pulling away in 3rd gear quite a few times :lol: As i found out recently when i broke 2nd gear and 1st was jammed. You do look a bit of a knob pulling away from traffic lights though
