unless it has been changed, your car already has a helix paddle clutch!
i'm interested to hear the box has let go, because i think it has had the syncros rebuit once already.

whos car is/was it?

 

[drhowser]

it was the lad demo car. my flatmate bought it and completely stripped it for tracking. it had loads of stuff done to it before he sold it, but it looks like it has been mostly returned to standard.
the syncros were rebuilt as well, not sure what mileage it had on then, probably 25/30k.

its now done 35k and yes the box has let go ive just orded a helix paddle cerametalic clutch kit shoild arrive next week. it wasnt cheap though!

 

[drhowser]

unlucky fella. thats a bit s**t! you might well find that the clutch is still fine though, i'll ask later what the mileage was when tim fitted the helix before.
