Hi Guys, Felt my clutch slipping this morning in 4th and 5th a little, can anyone help with which one to buy....? MY car is a my94 with air filter and full system. Wondering if the borg and beck kit will do the trick....?

Also i have ben to a few garages for a price for fitting it but dont really know what the going rate is... Any you guys know roughly how much i should pay.....?

Cheers..

If you are using the power freed up by the pipe /filter the borg and beck will be ok but it wont last as well as a dearer/better? clutch i killed one in 10k but i tow a trailer let the wife drive etc cheap to buy though and fitting no problem as i do it myself.
I think 4hours work for someone who knows how to do it would be about right

if you are not to heavy on it it should be fine

 

Thanks for the reply, what kinda price do you think is fair for replacing a clutch.....?

P.

 

well 4 hours labour depends on the person really 60-100 i would think dont really know do all my own work

I have seen prices around 200-250 posted in past for supply/fit depends on clutch type too though

 

at a dealers (subaru) 600 quid

 

I wouldn't fit a Borg and Beck clutch in a mini let alone a scooby
(and i run a garage so i should know!!)...they are cr*p.
Try LUK.. they have a good reputation and they are honestly priced,but ideally if you have to replace it then i would 'bite the bullet' and fit a good competion clutch as it will last a lot longer without the worries if you have a heavy right foot.

Been looking on the web for a LUK Kit but cant really find anywher to get one, do you know of any suppliers......?

 

Stick a AP organic in. Got one in mine and its mint.

 

Hi im after a new clutch too, but cant decide which to have. I thought about an AP racing one but have been told they wont last much longer than 10k, where as the standard scooby one has lasted 60k. so if anyone knows of a clutch that will last at least half that time then please let me know. I was thinking of a Black diamond clutch, dont know if there any good though

Cheers Marx

 

Our local Partco motor factors stock/sell LUK clutches.Another good make to try is BLUEPRINT..OE japanese parts,we use these quite a bit and the quality is good.
I am off work this week but can make some phone calls monday if you want..let me know.
