Will be replacing my gearbox in the next few weeks and want to fit a new clutch at the same time.
Any ideas on the best make or company to order from?

cg motorsport they do everything i getting clutch for my transit sport van , do paddle clutch , standard ckutch, loads , flywheels the lot and cheap i think. (im new well was member years ago looking to get a five again)
gary
i am led to believe that the sachs clutch gives a softer clutch pedal but cant deal with as much power/torque as the valeo uprated one, valeo bits hard but you soon get used to it
I thought the 'uprated' clutches felt ok, you get that halfway 'feel' to it but it didn't feel as heavy as my 19 16V clutch pedal

are ktec still in business or not??? its not me thats after clutch but seems you know alot more than me i havent had a five for years nw!
Ktec, etc, just have GSF post Valeo parts to the Ktec, etc, customer.
Sometimes Ktec, etc, just buy in a big box of parts from GSF and post them themselves.
The clutch to get is the Valeo 801015.
Even though many of them are a bit out of date now mainly due to a years updating being lost in June 2008, it would really help you all a lot if you simply read the articles.

bb tuning?? used both of em years ago ktec on my clio williams aswell , not me after the clutch but thought i wud try give what info i had! not that it prob helps lol
bb tuning dont trade under that name no more...they are effectively known as engine dynamics now
maybe they had a big tax bill! well i paid for full membership to get back into 5 scene and going to be looking at getting one in few months. all goes well cheap one though
Go direct to source it saves lots o f pennies
Long arm conversion on the R5 is a must IMHO - if nothing else gives the cables an easier life.
As Ian has covered thes have been covered in the articles and well worth a read

sorry but is that a vx220 you have? bet its quick
dont wana sound a dick but what is a long arm conversion??
Second quickest recorded :P don't over look my old Renault 5 with the VAG 1.8 20V conversion. Great bit of kit and do miss that car
Vx should do a 10 sec 1/4 this year on the santa pod day :P (10.99999999999999) and very low 0-100 of 8.3 once I put her back together with a few uprated parts. Car is really not about straight line performance and its all about the bends
Try to give Scoff a run for his money

Read the article and find out!!!

get an uprated clutch lol
Long arm clutch is a longer arm to pivot the clutch release and using a diff Renault realease arm (longer) it is easier on the pedal. Few option to go all PMT if you dont want to take the box off
Kris about time I took you out on track it is secret spec now
DG
track is best way my old five was great on it done a few track days, ,low tens are f as f
Il look forward to it at the next event Dunc
