| Just an update, I'm booked in next Monday for a Helix clutch and single mass flywheel, think the flywheel is the G60 item and clutch will be G60/VR6. I went for the Helix as it's only around £80 more than the sachs but is good for alot more power and I'm advised it will also last alot longer.

| JBS, purely because that's who will be fitting it. I've made the mistake before at other garages of supplying my own parts and if things go wrong it gets difficult because quite fairly the garage will want paying for extra work due to faulty parts etc.. However JBS have always been excellent with warranties and chasing suppliers/manufacturers.

| I'm on the Sachs clutch and single mass flywheel - i get absolutely no kangarooing or juddering in traffic (or any speeds for that matter!) and the thing is still biting strong even after taking abuse with a GT conversion and track days! I've never heard of probs with the Sachs kits Colin - what have you heard? BTW it was about £500 fitted for the lot

| The clutch has been on a week now, gotta say I've noticed no 'kangarooing' at all. Very pleased with it and the increase in performance from the single mass flywheel is noticable. Old clutch and flywheel had hot spots on the flywheel face and cracks in the clutch friction material. Still had quite a bit left though so was slipping due to torque/abuse rather than being worn out.
