I thought 200 all in was quite fair,too. I'm unsure what the OEM brand is on my car - any ideas?

If I can get a definitive answer then I'll have a quick shop around. It's not desperate yet, it only slips if I really boot it hard in fifth gear at about 2000rpm, and even then, only a little bit of slip is noticeable.

But the stench of overheated friction parts is sickly. Maybe I should rev it up stationary and smoke the clutch for a few seconds - would this help remove 'glaze' from the surfaces, much like you can do with glazed brakes?

Rgds,
