Where is best to go for a stock 6sp TT clutch?

My 1996 TT 6 speed has done 103k on the original clutch which I reckon is good going but it has the occassional slip. To be honest it first had a slip 5 years ago but I only do a few thousand miles in it each year. The slippage is still very occassional and generally from a low down boot rather than a high rev thrash. I want to line up a replacement for the next service/MOT visit to the garage. You see the occassional one come up on e-Bay but I was wondering if anyone can share a good company or site to go sort out a replacement.

The car was dyno tested in the not too distant past and recorded 330bhp at the drive wheels so it has had a BPU in its early life. nothing serious though so a stock clutch will do fine.

I got mine from Steve Manley at Toyota. Do a search on here for his contact details. He was the cheapest by far even with shipping on top.

How about Chris Wilsons clutch? Its a stock clutch with a mildly upgraded spring that fits your powerlever perfectly. I didn't notice any change in pedal pressure even though Chris told me there should be a slight difference. I don't rember the price but it was very reasonable

Ditto - he's in your neck of the woods too

My uprated stock clutch should be ideal, can supply only, or supply and fit, please see below. i also do them for the N/A 5 speed boxes.

I use the stock, brand new driven plate, as it is correctly

balanced, doesn't judder and will hold all but mega torque

highly modded engines or cars used for drag racing.

I modify a stock brand new cover to give more clamping force.

The reason I tooled up to do these is some of the aftermarket

US clutches I have fitted SEEM to be built from used cover

assemblies with reground friction surfaces, and a stronger

spring. I have had hellish trouble getting these to fully

release, because due to this seemingly thinner cast iron

friction face, the geometry of the clutch goes to pot, and

being a pull type clutch (the hydraulics pull the bearing

away from the engine, rather than the more normal push type)

it is a lot harder to effect a cure.

For 455 pounds plus VAT , you get a brand new driven

plate, a brand new modded cover, and a brand new release

bearing. I would rather fit myself so any complaints are down

to me, I see a lot of clutches damaged by people without the right gear

(a ramp and transmission jack, plus correct circlip tools and fitment)

or clutches fitted to patently *uggered flywheels. I will do a supply

only if you feel competent to tackle the job or are using a bona fide garage to

fit the clutch

Toyota use a dual mass flywheel (the flywheel is in 2 parts, an inner and

outer assembly, damped in the middle) which is now showing signs

of wear causing a lot of rattle when idling or on very light

throttle openings. For God knows what reason they are charging

about £400 + VAT for a new one, they look more like they should be

over 500 to me, but don't say anything :-) The very similar LUK dual

mass flywheel on Maseratis is nearly £1000 + VAT.... So if the flywheels

old enough or abused enough to be scored it should be replaced.

Fitting by myself will cost £175 + VAT.

Thanks all for the come back - I've sent Chris an email seeing he must be somewhere local to me.
