Anyone got a Clutch for me? (CA18DET)

rratadmin06 Feb 2008, 20:25

Got a clutch done at Gearbox Center, and it is not right dont think it is handling the power (only doing 160Kw) still slipping when boosting in the high revs. Rezlo going to take two weeks to get a clutch and want it done for the 22nd going to durban to meet up with the club.

Bring it to DBN and Ill get you one made.

hmmm what sort of price? Thinking of getting the one from rezlo. Full kit 6puk R4450, but will have to order today to get it in 2 weeks

The guy rebuilds them and charges R1100 for a 3Puk clutch. The nice thing is these are super drivable and dont slip.

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 09:24

is it ok to rebuild them? havent heard good things about that.

It is the same as what Chemcool and Draco are using. I have fitted these to PLENTY cars with no hastles. I will be doing mine soon.

Hmmm taken the car back to gearbox center, they have taken the clutch out and sending it back to get it swopped out i have asked for a refund for it and will get the new one installed by them but waiting for a answer. Will ask them if they still have the orignal one.

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 09:50

What will i need to bring up and can i ask you please to organize it.

VVladeadmin07 Feb 2008, 09:57

IIRC pressure plate and the old clutch

GGary5707 Feb 2008, 10:25

Yeah I can organise it for you. My dad does alot of work with them so Ill get him to take it there for you.

I will need the clutch plate and pressure plate. Will take about a week I would say.

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 10:31

Phoned them and they looking for it, but think they got rid of it 😢

GGary5707 Feb 2008, 10:34

Why dont you just take your one out of your car??

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 10:39

Dont know if it will be as good as the orignal one? and they have taken it out and sending it back to there suppliers, paid R2250 for it inc install. Shall i tell them not to but give it to me and i'll bring it up to you?

GGary5707 Feb 2008, 10:49

Its your decision boet.

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 11:32

ok they dont have the orginal one. thx will get back to you this afternoon when i know what they are doing.

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 13:12

ok they have taken it out and they cant see anything wrong with it, so can i bring it to durbs and give it to you and the cash? can only come after work today - tomorrow be there about 7. or can make a time for sat. maybe meet car pavillion.

GGary5707 Feb 2008, 13:30

Yeah you can bring it around whenever just gimmi a call before you come. 083 306 7721

Just 1 thing are you sure that is the right clutch kit?? Because I know a guy who fitted one to to stock sx and it wouldnt hold at anything over 3500rpm, now no matter what you do to the clutch it still wont hold if it is not engaging properly. I would hate for you to get your clutch done and it still doesnt hold.

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 13:34

it is holding fine 1st 2nd gear, 3rd 4th 5th as soon as it hits 1 bar boost starts slipping? so just think it cant handle the power

GGary5707 Feb 2008, 13:36

Then yes I would say the clutch needs to be done.

When do you want to bring it???

rratadmin07 Feb 2008, 13:42

if it going to take a week then asap will see if i can get a car tonight (both sx's are broken) will let you know asap. thx
