New Clutch

[Bmx_Bandit]

I need to buy a new clutch this week.I was just wanting ideas on what make to go for for a standard replacement or a slight upgrade on the standard clutch.(and prices if poss).

Cheers simon.:upside:

there isnt a slight upgrade you can do for the k11 clutch, the only heacy duty one is an exedy import from oz. otherwise its a rally/race clutch. best clutch is the LUK OE clutch.

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

The motorfactors up here in edinburgh are selling Blueprint clutches have you heard of these. They say it's a direct replacement

 

[Beachboy]

havent heard of the brand. luk as far as i'm concerned is the best replacement clutch, its the one nissan use but charge double for.

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Cool. I think it's going to be the LUK one then. Where can i get hold of one?
Sorry for all the questions:upside::upside:

bugger i can't remember the make of my clutch - think it was HQ (had a griffon as their logo) seems very good and only cost me £40ish - fitted it myself.

 

[quickdraw]

blue print isnt a make (if this is the same context as im thinking of)
and is simply a off shoot fo the proper nissan part excepot not sold through nissan. and sold seperatly.

they are names blueprinmts because they are th same parts just not nissan boxed basically!!

wayne
others may be able to back me up that if they know what im talking about or shoot me down in flames if im totally got wrong end of the stick in what im thinking about

 

[Davey C]

pretty sure you hit the nail on the head there quicky. i was thinking along hte same lines, re-branded nissan parts

 

[Beachboy]

look for the LUK stamp then as they are the nissan clutch.

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Cheers for all the help!!
I think il go for the LUK one just need to find a dealer near here.:upside:

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Really struggling to find a dealer for LUK in the uk online. Just getting useless searches.grrgrr
If someone could tell me where they got theirs from that'd be a great help.:upside:

Cheers Beachboy.

ps. does changing the clutch involve anything else e.g do i need gearbox oil ??

 

[Beachboy]

yes new gear oil.

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

cheers ...

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Sorry one more thing, what gear oil did you use mate??:upside:

Hi m8, just use any brand as long as its 80w/90w GL4 viscosity, usually buying singles litres is much more expensive, if you look around you can maybe get a 5 litre for around £10, regards MTB:]

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Cheers MTB much appreciated.
