Performance Clutches?

Post by **Merlin** » Wed Feb 19, 2014 12:02 pm

If the clutch in my 4th gen is goosed what should I do? I will obviously need a new one if anything is damaged. Should I speak with Competition Clutch UK and see what they have to say?

If I do go with another brand who should I go with?

ACT? what others are there?

Surely that's gotta be worth a first call?

They wont be able to help me but I would be interested to hear what they have to say about any failures and if anything has been done to solve any issues.

The real issues if I need to get a new clutch kit is the time it take to get one. Time is fast running out for me.

Localish to you and a few options, but not cheap.

I am panicking that is all

I just spoke to Andy @ Competition Clutch UK and he told me that there are no known issues past or present with Honda clutches. He said there was issues with some kits for other cars (Subaru was one of them). But he said that he has some bits on the shelf that he can get to me quickly, so all is not lost I suppose.

This was being talked about yesterday on another thread. Apparently the ATR clutch is a decent upgrade. Let me find the info quick..

It's cool dude. Thanks anyway.

My 4th gen would probably eat an ATR clutch as I need something more hard wearing

I have one in my 5th gen.

Nevermind. Yours has got a fair bit more power!
