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

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
