uprated clutch release bearing

[beardyboy]

Nevre realised you could get a up rated helix clutch release bearing?

just brought a helix 6 paddle clutch and pressure plate witch will be fitted next weekend but also im replacing the gearbox at the same time.

i need to get a new clutch rlease bearing anyway, am i better off going for one of those over a standard release bearing?

( anyone ever used 1 of theses?)

thanks josh

Wish i'd of known that..!

nope never heard of these I'm just using a normal on mine

If you can find them, get one, most say you can't get them, I found out you can get AP ones but had already fitted a standard one.... It's noisy as fuck,

[beardyboy]

looks like a good find then...blackie shall i just go for a helix uprated one? or just standard?

has anyone else every used one of these release bearing?

[beardyboy]

decided im going to get the helix up rated clutch release bearing not to bad price at £33,

there are 2 different ones ( 96 to 99 )mk1 or ( 2000on )mk2

my car is a mk2 saxo vtr turbo

my helix 6 paddle clutch and pressure plate is a mk1 design, but im already using a mk1 vtr flywheel, will i need the 96-99 uprated release bearing?

will i have to use a mk1 vtS flywheel?
(is there any difference between the vtR and vtS flywheel)

will i have to use a mk1 vtS gearbox? or can a mk2 gearbox be used with a mk1 clutch

thanks josh

gearboxes are all the same...doesnt matter about them

if your urnning a mk1 fly and its a mk1 clutch youll need a bearing to suit that year

as for uprating its defo...a good quality thrust bearing can be up to £30 anyway, so uprated is bargain

sure the AP ones are kicking on for £80!

my standard one is noisey as fuck. but a stock one wont last as long with an uprated cover anyway, wish id found an uprated on before i fitted my stock one.....its pissing me off but im not pulling the car apart to change it till its fucked tbf

[beardyboy]

oh right so will my mk1 vtR fly wheel be the same as a mk1 vtS flywheel then, both 200mm?

so it dont matter if its a mk1 or mk2 vtS, or vtR gearbox?

as for the helix release bearing its on sale it think aswell :-), as mine is a mk1 helix clutch ill need the (96-99) release bearing wont i?

just looked on that web site:
