Default Re: New Clutch

Power clutches can show up weaknesses elsewhere in the car. I got through about 6 clutch cables with mine. You should certainly replace the release bearing/diaphragm as well - it would be a false economy not to. If it is a cable clutch I would also get a new cable installed just to be on the safe side (self adjusting clutches tend to snap). Mileage is good for a remapped diesel so a proper PUG clutch should suffice - be careful of cheaper aftermarket OEM clutches as they are not always as good.
