really need a clutch now its one of these two, but centerforce has a long waiting time but i have heard of issues with the southbend not releasing properly due to the master cylinder. is this a common problem as i just want it to work first time, will have enough to think about without the clutch giving problems

14th jan, its marked as read. not a problem tho bud, can you tell me if there is likely to be a problem with it releasing?

 

We have had some problems with them releasing but normally fitting a NA slave cyl sorts that out, Southbend say every clutch is tested before its sent out.

I did have problems with the bite point on the SB. Mark at Pheonix spent hours trying to sort it out, but the bite point was always very low on the pedal. However I've not hear of others reporting the same problem.

 

Great clutch otherwise, lasted 5 years and 36k miles, 1 year of which was with a single turbo. Pedal was only very slightly heavier than stock, engagement was no different. Behaved perfectly in traffic or on the track.
