Clutched !!!

Well, Jason spoke to AP Racing yesterday, and they discussed what is the best to go for. They offered a 15% uprated one, and a 25% uprated one for silly money.
After a lengthy discussion with Darren @ KAP, We decided on a 5 paddle Competition Clutch. Ok, no slippage for daily driving, so we will need to modify our driving style, but, according to Darren, were not going to have any problem offroad

Car is booked into the garage for friday too, so we will have the Jeep back for a shake down on the weekend :woohoo:

Well, New clutch fitted @ Newbury 4x4. what a nice bunch of chaps.
the old one was completely burnt out and stripped of all thr friction lining as you would expect
KAP clutch is great. Nice biting point, and a little burn as the clutch beds in but the take up is superb. Probably can still slip the clutch should I need too but it feels really positive now ( much better than the standard one that was fitted 3 months ago when we bought the Jimny from a dealer !!) .. Yes, 3 months !!!

I must find out from you how much Newbury 4x4 charge for the install.

I smoked my new clutch climbing onto the trailer this evening, that will teach me to buy a cheap one

oh - and were there any identifying marks in the new clutch or the box it came in, just in case I can get them elsewhere?

Thanks

Martin

Email sent Martin.
No marks or numbers on the box. The basket looked the same as the OEM one but the clutch plate itself was a 4 ( sorry, I mistakenly said 5 previously )paddle one. both came wrapped in brown grease paper and in a plain box.
As soon as we have 5 minutes to take the jeep offroad, Ill give it some real abuse and see how it handles it. I suspect its going to be Uber cool !

you will love it off road and wonder how you lived without it. I got a few more bits to do to mine then I will be fitting one.
