Slippy clutch :-( Get a garage to fix it?

[Tom G]

My clutch started slipping today, upon activation of full boost :driving:
I blame the missus driving it before me,

Anyway, I desperately need it fixing before next sunday 16th for round 1 of the sprint series (which I've already paid for) and don;t have the time or skills to do it meself.... questions....
1. Are pattern parts OK or do i really need a toyota clutch?
2. I'm a bit nervy letting a garage loose on my baby, is there anything different about changing a clutch on a mk1.5 compared to a mk2t?
3. Anyone know a competent garage in the harlow / stansted area?

Cheers peeps

Theres a garage i use in Great dunmow, their not the cheapest, but i wouldn't trust anyone else with my motors.

I personally would never use a cheap pattern part clutch, did it once on my daily driver and it lasted about 500 miles. Took it back and the motorfactor gave me a full refund, saying 'yeah they are crap, we have had loads of returns'

is there anything different about changing a clutch on a mk1.5 compared to a mk2t?

yes,its loads easier on a mk1.5 :thumbsup:

Thanks for the advice! :thumbsup: I'll be in touch with BSM and Feirn Engines.

I've heard good things about brakes international, they do 3 OES clutch kits:

SCK2727, 224mm, 20 splines, £51.50
SCK7037, 236mm, 21 splines, £130.35 (bearing doesn't fit 3sgte)
SCK2715, 225mm, 20 splines, £69.25

Which one is right for a rev1?

Not to worry, I'll leave it up to the garage to sort out, I'm giving Feirns engines a go
