Sachs Organic Clutch

matt@theforce · 26-09-2007, 09:22

Had my Octi PD130 remapped using the Jabba Generic map, original clutch died after 2 weeks.

Bought a Sachs Organic Clutch from JBS Autos and had it fitted by them.
1st impressions
* Bite is extremly viscous compared to standard clutch and pedal very springy
* Bite is very very high up
* Not very controllable in town

3 weeks on and 500miles done
* Initial bite is still strong and pedal much less springy (more like standard)
* Bite is still high up (but used to it now)
* Much more controllable and easily driven in town (even the wife has noticed the difference since it was fitted)

It is a little expensive compared to the standard clutch but this will hopefully last just as long.

It is so well worth it, and once bedded in, it's absolutely fine to live with

At first, I hated mine, but now I've got used to it, I love it.

It's true the bite comes in pretty aggressively, but once you get the hang of it, I find standing starts even easier
