GoliathJay Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Finally! Been waiting about 7 months to get a clutch fitted, but due to cash flow (or lack there of) I've been limping around. But tomorrow it's going to Paul Stablers in Darlington, and I might acctually be able to put the mighty NA power down (watch out Saxos, here I come). It's going to be £380 all in, for a basic clutch. No comprehension if this is a good or bad price, but it needs doing. Only problem is, Its going to be another month or so till I get a new diff fitted, so I can't go having too much fun.

RobSheffield Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Why do you need a new diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoliathJay Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 The teeth are worn, I think. When you give it some beans it makes a horrific rattle. And getting under the car you twist the propshaft about 1/4 or a turn before it fully engages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Pretty good price there mate. I'm paying £250 for a stock clutch and £200 to have it fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoliathJay Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well, i got it back tonight. He showed me the old clutch, it was paper thin, with heat spots all over the friction plate. But the difference is amazing. I've still got to get the diff fixed and let the clutch bed in, the car feels so different! Light and, dare I say it, powerful! However, he pointed out (and i had suspected for a couple of days) that my driver side rear caliper is seized, so I'll get a service kit from Mr T, and back in she goes.
