Yes, the clutch on a PPP car is standard original. The power/ torque increase in a PPP is minimal and the existing clutch can cope easily.

Watch out for internet and Ebay offers there are many nasty stories about ' Exedy ' clutches that have been bought in these areas that seem to last a VERY short while

.

Never yet changed one of ours under warranty for slip or judder......

That was our 230 mm 400 / 400 rated clutch, which makes it more of a mystery as to why it should play up at a much lower power level than it is capable of.

You are correct though Trevor, we have changed a clutch for slip - first time for everything.

The new larger clutch from API appears to be working very well and a big thanks to them for the no-nonsense way in which it was resolved.
