Default Re: New Clutch

Hi Paul,

If its done 98,000 on the original clutch I would put an oem clutch back in it. Thats very good mileage for a clutch. I would replace the clutch plate, release diaphram and release bearing. If it hase a nose bearing that sits in the middle of the flywheel I would replace that too but you would have to ask your local dealer about that one. You can buy all the parts seperatley but I have never known anyone to replace only an individual part, probably because it is bad practise to do so. It would be a bit like changing brake discs and leaving old worn pads on there.

On very few occaisions I have had to change flywheels too, but this is very rare. Just make sure you check it for uneven hot spots. If its smooth to the touch it should be fine.
