Clutch Time
 
Right clutch has started to judder now, quite noticeably. I have had a couple of quotes, first one was Mr. Clutch for £363 and the other is a local clutch specialist for £369 all in.
Is this any good??
Also as an after thought, how easy are the wheel bearings to do and is there a How to anywhere?

Many Thanks ;) :)

Is the judder when pulling away?

Yeah mate, also when you take your foot off the accelerator there is a noticeable jerk and I have changed the TPS so don't think it's that.

Interesting. I only ask because I have exactly the same problems.

The only issue is that if I'm replacing the clutch I'm going to want to drop a lightened flywheel in too ;)

Well I am going to put about half in this month and the rest in March, might look at the cost of a lightened flywheel.
What are the benefits of a lightened flywheel? Faster revving?

Essentially yes, due to there being less weight on the crank.

Without meaning to hijak the thread does anyone know how easy it is to do a DIY clutch change. I'm thinking the labour savings could be used to replace the release bearing and slave cylinder as well.

BTW, if you can find someone to just do the fitting EuroCarParts have got 15% off clutch kits at the mo. A kit for a ZS 120 comes out at £88.74

Mine also judders but doesnt slip. I will do mine my self and I am also thinking of a light weight fly' Ive done fords and pugs before and the 180 engine stays in so how hard can it be .....

The 180 one is a lot dearer unfortunately. Always will be for a v6 ;( That's the pleasure's of owning a powerful car :blink:
