As above, what is it and are they worth fitting to the 172?

would presume it would take alot of work

no more work than installing a standard clutch.

Mine is quite heavy and judders a bit when pulling away, it's brand new too.

Worth it if you have a high powered car, but most opinions are that standard clutch is ok for mild mods.

if its a road car don't bother

Would a Helix sports clutch like the 1 Yozza have be a better option then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah there's 2 clutches from helix, the paddle race jobbie, or the grpN type one

is your existing clutch knackered?

 

[stu-172]

It's on it's way out! 70k on it! Not completely gone yet!

 

[Fred@BTM]

I've driven an R5 GTT with one in I think - I believe the phrase I'm looking for to describe it is "lightswitch" lol
