Techniclutch fast road clutches....

[Dave.]

Are these actually worth bothering with or shall i stick to a boggo valeo job??

Id like to get hiold of the group N valeo clutch but have no idea where to get one from.

With 170+ ft lbs will i benefit from fitting a stronger clutch or will the standard one suffice?

 

[Sam@NP]

Seen as its a daily Id stick with standard, some uprated clutches are actually pretty hard to drive with. Stiff and not a great deal of slip for setting off from the lights and reverse parking. Thats my 2pence lol

 

[Dave.]

ah fair enough, can fred get hold of the group n clutch from valeo? its not a paddle, just slightly uprated, not even worth bothering with that?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yes i can, awaiting a price for it

 

[Adam.]

Google techniclutch....then have a rethink. lol.

 

[Dave.]

ah cheers Fred, im guessing it will be expensive lol

Cheers for the heads up Adam, i wanted the Grp N one but couldn't source one, was just looking for anything moderately uprated

techniclutch are s**t , you will need to replace it with 5k miles where it has fallen apart

 

[Dave.]

yes i can, awaiting a price for it

Any news fred?

Techniclutch are very temptimental. I have had a few and have been very good!!!
A mates had one in his fiesta for 50000 miles so far and still takes hard abuse.
Mate had one in his 206 for a month and has gone tho :-s

I had standard with ITB's Dave, and I gave mine death.

No problems and sold it on after I split as well.

ITB'd F4R here aswell, standard clutch is fine

i may be wrong but if im thinking of the right company ( techniclutch) are they not just reconditioned clutch kits which are then painted red ?

yes. Badly done too. I've seen then slip from new with standard power

 

[Dave.]

is it worth sticking a billet flywheel on whilst im at it? im gonna stick with the valeo clutch if the uprateds are pointless

 

[sideways danny]

bit overkill on a standard engine. Get a standard one lightened if you really must. I'd personally just go for skimming the friction face of the flywheel to give it perfect contact
