Another clutch problem

Different to the other clutch thread on here! :(

 

I presume in my case it is the clutch itself that's knackered...

 

Pulling away, changing gear is all fine. Biting point is in the middle of the clutch travel (though my clutch servo is disconnected at the mo).

 

However, floor it, and when the turbos start dancing the revs jump up about 1000 without the car accelerating. Hoped it might be wheelspin on dodgy surfaces, but firstly it's not accompanied by any noise, and secondly I tried it round a bend and the back end stayed put.

 

So the next bit, is what's the best clutch? The RPS Sport clutch seems well used so is it the best one to go for? And aside from Baggins and Smithy (I checked your sites chaps :D ), anyone got any recommendations for where to get it bought and/or fitted? (Think a clutch would be beyond my limited mechanical skills!)

 

And finally... I need a new clutch servo/booster! Where's the best place to get one of them?

 

Cheers for any help,

 

Mark

The RPS sport is indeed a very good clutch capable of holding a good amount of power if required but the most important thing is that the peddle feel is not far off stock i.e not to stiff , as for fitting .....well you know who I am gonna recommend :tongue: :dance:

LOL

 

Actually, how does the RPS compare with a new stock clutch? I'm not going to be running a huge amount of power, so would I be better off saving a few pennies with OEM, or is the RPS simply better clutch all-round?

For the extra few quid I would go with an RPS everytime

A mate of mine can get me a SAX clutch for a reasonable price- does anyone know if they're any good?
