hi Just got my NEW clutch fitted today
40% more pressure thats 2200lbs and 8% bigger plate
cant wait to drive it home
also got a full injector and fuel tank clean
got to drive it back from ABS mechanics about 2min drive, the clutch feels alot softer and the release point is so short aobut 1-1.5cm, and the clean made a noticeable difference
car done 130K first injector clean, 3rd clutch
just thought i'll let everyone know

from new car frist clutch did 30K
2nd clutch (heavy duty) change at 130K so 100K on that clutch i think thats not to bad

Is it ceramic or organic?
With the heavy duty pressure plate (which is what increases clamping load) is it much heavier on the foot? Do you get any shudder on take off?
Im soon to replace the clutch in the VRX I think.

no not ceramic just standard
its actually softer cause its a new clutch also magnas have a hydraulic clutch system thus it should never feel heavier
no shudder at all so far, will let u no tommorrow after i drive it a lttle more
if u cant it trade let me no and i'll hook u up
