As above really.

Want a clutch that can take total abuse! Been looking at Helix paddle clutches, just the plate to use with the standard pressure plate or the whole kit?

Reccomendations?

Also oil for a plated diff, what can I use? I sway towards Millers motorsport stuff but what is best suited?

Cheers,

Colin.

Cheers for the reply, yeah millers list loads but they all say "not for with LSD but for synchromesh" or " for use with LSD but NOY synchromesh" lol.

I dont need a paddle but i just need a clutch that can take loads of shit haha. The Helix Group N kit looks ok.

the only advice i can give mate is that they will be a pain to you, only if you really need a clutch to handle some extreme power get a paddle clutch. They will fook the tensioner in the automatic adjuster on the cable and are really heavey on the clutch arm and will wear the release bearing quicker

if i were you get a new standard clutch in there and just replace say every 3/4 years!

Funnily enough alot of the uprated clutches ive known people to kill very quickly.

Which is why alot of people started using valeos again, mines taken a load of abuse.

the clutch may take abuse but the box will prob die if you abuse it
