Competition Clutch mate - not overly impressed with it if honest. Don't get me wrong it fits its purpose but I'm very fussy and expected better from it.

Havent found it too bad on the actual road mate its more the smell (organic burning or something) when you even balance for 2 secs on a hill or when reversing out driveway slope at start of the day - and slight judder picking off.

6k miles since fitting so you'd think that would have faded after a few weeks hmmmmmmmm. Will do for the moment and may replace in a year but just a heads for ya, as I'd prob avoid if selecting again.
