Subaru Turbo powered 1303s in the UK..

as research also has led me to concur tom thanks for the info.. so what would you do chaps then chaps who have already done this?

presumably i have to stick to my 210mm set up as the flywheel etc are all lined into this and i dont have the money to blast £400 on a whole new set up.. so what would you recommend changing and what would you change it to reinforce my existing 210mm ... can i just get a stronger disc or change the pressure plate or would this make it incompatible with the 210mm flywheel?!?!? to be honest clutch set up is not my knowledge so your help woul dbe appreciated..

cheers

I really think your problem is elsewhere unless it's a faulty clutch in which case it is a case of returning it.
TSR have told you that they are using the same spec clutch with similar power with no problems.
Have you checked for oil contamination in there yet?
A solid disc is not a cure for your problems...

it's a wild gues, but hve you slightly sanded the surface of your ressure plate?
When it's new, it has a thin film on it to revent corrosion and when you install it like that it will slip (but for how long I have no idea).

i havent checked for oil contamination inside yet but no signs of oil seeping to outside of clutch.. that is the next test when i open her up..

Ricola - its interesting wot Tom 72' is saying here wot do you reckon?
nobody else on the vwkd forum has mentioned this before?

nobody else on the vwkd forum has mentioned this before?

that's propably because it's common knowledge for a mechanic but if nobody ever tells you, you simply don't know (didn't know myself at first)

I would have thought your builder wiped those parts down before install...

[joodge]

well you would have thought so ricola bu tstranger things have happened.. i will only be able to tell by opening her up i guess..

thanks for the tip off Tom 72
