new clutch

rpettafor · #1 27-10-2006, 08:02

hi, my clutch is slippling at the moment and ive got my car booked in for the 70/72k service so am having it done at the same time
shall i just let him get a clutch, as he's usually good on parts, or shall i get my own clutch - be it standard or aftermarket- and if aftermarket, can anyone recommend a decent one.

Thanks

Rob

Just use an S13 one, they can take more power. My mate got one the other day through a local shop for £90. You may have to pay a little more though.

would that be bought through a nissan dealer?

Don't do that unless you want to have your kidney removed to help fund it.

Are Nissan servicing the car? Cant you service it yourself?

Think Apex performance sell them for about £145, but you could find it cheaper if you had a hunt.

thats about right for an luk s13 clutch, i payed £140 and they seem to hold the power well.

retail price on the LUK kit is £135. it includes a release bearing. I'd recommend a Quinton Hazell kit, they're made by Exedy, a few pounds less than the LUk and I've found them to be a little better

In what way better.
