  • What clutch for 425Bhp

    Bit of a dilemma, coming home last night decided that id give it a bit of beans, and the clutch started to slip, this was in 3rd gear, went from 4000 when boost is in up to red line very very quickly

    What clutch is best for the power???

    Anybody you know who i can trust to fit it?????

    How much is it going to set me back and a link if possible

    AP 6 Paddle, and if you can then go for the Hydraulic setup at the same time.

    id recommend Martoon, but failing that then i have a good mate who can do it for you.
    an Ex Ford RS dealership man and now the head Mechanic at a local Ford based Specialist Garage (still for the owners that owned the local RS Dealership back in the day)

    Just depends if your happy to nip it round to Gatwick

        If you want a nice driving clutch a AP organic will hold that power.

            can the AP organic take a lot of abuse at that sort of power level then???

            Next year once ive got an uprated box i want to wind the boost back up to a decent level so will replace the clutch to suit. I find AP 6 paddle a bit annoying on cable actuation so would probably go hydraulic but i suspect it will need replacing when i change boxes.

                  I had them at nearly 500hp for a short while with no problems, they wont like a full bore launch but driven as a road car they will last a while,
                  I would up the power then change the clutch if it has problems to a Ap 6 paddle.

                            But no, not him, he was never a ford RS dealership mechanic or worked in a place like that.
