FAQ's & Answers

Q: How much BHP will this clutch handle?

A: BHP is only a measurement of engine power. Maximum torque output, ideally measured at the flywheel is a much better way to determine suitability. We advise using a clutch rated to handle at least 10% more torque than your car will ever throw at it.

--------------------

Q: Will this clutch work with my flywheel?

A: All clutch kit's listed on our website are are designed to work with your stock or after market flywheel, unless otherwise stated. It's adviseable to either fit a new flywheel, or have your stock flywheel skimmed before fitting a new clutch plate. This is also a warranty requirement from most clutch manufacturers.

--------------------

Q: Does the kit include everything i need to fit the clutch?

A: The typical 3 piece clutch assembly consist's of a pressure plate, drive plate and clutch release bearing. All clutch kit's listed on our website contain these vital components, unless otherwise stated. The Competition Clutch range are usually supplied with a clutch alignment tool for your specific application too.

--------------------

Q: Do i need to bed the clutch in slowly?

A: Most clutches using a fully faced drive plate require at least 500 miles of 'normal road driving' to bed in properly. This can vary between racing type clutches. Avoid fast pull away's or 'slipping' the clutch during the break in period. Adjust the free travel of a new clutch at 750 miles and again at 1,500 miles, checking every 10k miles there after.
