I'd be very interested to hear your feedback Adam. As far as I'm aware, the 360 clutch is the same. The fly wheel and release bearing certainly are. There's a certain amount of re-manufacturing mentioned. I'd be concerned if they're re-using the diaphragm spring, as this is a known weakness.

Miles....just to double check the 3200/4200 clutches are different?

As with most things in the specialist motor trade ,ive found several places that can and do offer higher wear and performace clutches for both the 4200 and 3200 , and a lot lot cheaper around 30% of the oem cost , where the stumbling block kicks in is the labour charge to give them a try to verify their claims and product , at £600 a pop for labour ive found it hard to actually bite the bullet and try one out

Post amended thanks to Loz's correction below.

4200 / GS variants the same when CC. Different when manual and both different to the 3200's

Hi P, yes different. All the 4200 / GS variants are the same, but not common to the 3200's.

4200 Manual shift differs to trhe CC Miles

Apologies P, Loz, you're absolutely right. I'll amend my post accordingly.

Not much of a response

You can send us your used clutch kit and we will rebuild it with new components and full warranty. Otherwise we can purchase a new OEM clutch kit and modify the disk and internal parts for higher performance. Please let us know how you would like to proceed.


Thank you,
