before people bash them, have they ever used one?

 

[Johnc172]

I saw them when i was in the market for a new clutch. Bottled it though TBH as i couldnt be bothered to get the box back out if it was shite!

 

[ben_p]

what did you fit in the end?

 

[mini-valver]

WTF have you broke now man? You only bought it like a week ago, lol.

 

[Race2theRedline]

One of those things (toilet roll, condoms etc) not to skimp on IMHO

R2TR (who knows of a Turbo Mini that ate a cheap clutch a month)

 

[Waitey]

Techiclutches are pooooooo

 

[drhowser]

i've never used them, but i've heard a lot of bad reports on techniclutches.

 

[ben_p]

[Waitey]

Just use an OEM one. Buy me one too.

 

[drhowser]

any more info andy?

 

[Adey.]

adey not andy lol

stock ovlov clutch will take about 220lbft of abuse b4 slipping, the volvo 1.7 turbo is based on a renault f block engine, so i though id take a look at it, the locating lugs (3 of the) for the cover are less than 1mm away from the 172 ones, so i used a needle file to open them out a little, while i was doing it i thought i might aswell go for a decent friction plate, on to helix and ordered a 4 puk sprung center ceremetalic of the right thickness as the volvo one is thicker than the renault one, chucked it all together bish bash bosh job done, cost was about 260 all in , i purchased a complete volvo clutch kit, a helix friction plate and a genuine renault release bearing

 

[Adey.]

oh forgot to say all the mounting bolt holes line up and the input shaft has the same amount as splines on the ovlov and renault

 

[markblack172]

i looked at a few reviews and techniclutches had all bad ones, so I went OEM, i cant comment on your second link though.
