How much life is left in this clutch????

[tom_beverley]

Since I've never seen a new one I've nothing to compare it to, but it doesn't look a lot to me...

Can someone with more know-how tell me please?

theres loads !!! paddle clutches dont really wear compared to std ones

[gazz]

there is loads left on that....
only worry when its down to the rivets..lol

yeah there is plenty on there for now, mine was less than that after a few thousand miles and i couldnt be ****d to have it re plated so it went back in lol

agree with the above, if you dont feel happy about it then i only paid helix 40 quid to do mine when i returned it to them as it had ran out of life

I was getting worried as the linings seemed really thin and close to the copper bit, so how often do they need relining and roughly how many more miles can I get out of it, 3k?

You can see in that pic theres a few mil of material left so it will be fine.

Worth replacing tho whilst its out?

Worth replacing tho whilst its out?

Thats what I was trying to get at, if I'm only trying to get a few thousand miles out of it then I may aswell do it all now rather than pull it out later on.

I'd do it now tbh.

Obviously it'll last a fair few miles under normal use,but track days/ 1/4s it'll soon wear.

best do it now for the sake of the hassle later on! depends weather your planing to keep the car long, if your not then it will be worth doing it now, even if your not keeping the car for ages you can say its had the clutch done when you come to sell it!!

[tom_beverley]

Will be keeping it for ages I hope, depending on rust lol

I'll get it relined so its done.
