eddymon42 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi all, Slave cylinder has gone and I'm going to get a new clutch put in whilst its in the garage (over 40k mile point). What is the verdict - OEM or aftermarket? I've seen the stage 1 exceedy and it has good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm not sure that you have you drop the box on the 350 do you chaps? Only saying because the slave is external and is a quick job (not sure about HR engine though).....40k is pretty low even by zed standards for a new clutch. Exedy are good though if you do plumb for one Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddymon42 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 It's internal on the HR I believe - even the warranty company said they have it down on the system as a 3.5 hour job minimum. I thought that the clutch goes around the 40k mark on average. My mechanic was of the opinion that it is worth getting done even with 70% wear whilst the gear box is open.

Ricey Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Fair cop. You doing the DMF whilst your at it? Will be more pricey but whilst the box is off? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sorry, what's a DMF? Dual Mass Fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddymon42 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 That's incorporated in the OEM clutch kit isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddymon42 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Is that an upgrade for the standard flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddymon42 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Just did some research - I see the difference between the standard DM and a single mass. Were you suggesting getting a single mass, or just getting a new one?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So on the DE the box does not have to be dropped? If so what's the labour time on the DE clutch replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So on the DE the box does not have to be dropped? If so what's the labour time on the DE clutch replacement To change slave on DE box doesn't have to be dropped To change clutch you do and that is booked at 3.5 hours on Autodata. Single mass is more durable as it doesn't have internal dampers like a DMF. The internal dampers absorb the torque which is why you'll find nearly every diesel has one because they're more torquey engines (that sound about right Alex?). If you switch to single you are likely to observe some judder as the torque is transmitted Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddymon42 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 So it turns out that I already have a single mass flywheel and a LUK clutch kit. I'm either keeping the flywheel, fitting an OEM clutch and an uprated CSC OR Replacing the whole lot with an aftermarket system that eliminates the CSC and comes with its own flywheel. Unsure yet - still waiting on the warranty company to come back to the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
