Clutch options 182

Advikaz · Jul 7, 2024

any suggestions regarding clutches for a 182 that’s used on the road and track.

Car will be getting a black line diff fitted.

Any first hand recommendations welcomed. Leaning towards the Sachs Performance Kit 🤦🏽‍♂️😭

Interested also in LUK experiences of getting tracked with moderate vigour amongst others

Also: any recommends on good driveshafts. Wondering if it’s worth replacing whilst I’m in there….

Been reading a fair few horror stories about the Valeo clutches and track use…?

My mate blew a hole in his gearbox with a Valeo clutch. Last lap of Silverstone as well. Might have been a Chinese special though.

I think my current machine has a Valeo but I’m putting a Sachs Racing clutch with organic plate in when this one lets go.

I‘ve always used Shaftec.

Nice and light for road use, but can take a beating on track. I had one in my last track machine.

Nice to get some feedback. I’m hearing good things on them.

I killed my OEM one at Cadwell, replaced with a Sachs performance one.

If your driveshafts are okay, I'd stick with them!

When getting the clutch done on my last 182, I had a similar thought to do them at the same time as a preventative measure. Went with JR and the outer CV boot lasted about a week. Messy and expensive in labour etc; put the oem one back on!

Sachs Motorsport clutch and organic cover plate on mine. (From PMS)

Gripper fitted and track only, it’s lovely. (But it f**king STANK the first time I used it 😂)

That’s the direction I’m going less the gripper. As I use it on the road and would rather ‘fit and forget’
