    Default Need a new clutch for a VR V8

    Clutch is starting to slip pretty bad, so I need to buy a new clutch, but I'm not sure what to go with. I have an Exedy sports tuff one in there now, the pink one, and it has been good, and was happy with the pedal feel. The problem is, I have no idea how long it was in there, and how long it has lasted. Does anyone else with an exedy have an idea how long those ones last for?
    I'm also looking for other brands that could be good to go with. I have heard of valeo, which is a bit cheaper, but dont know how heavy they are or how good they might be. Any ideas would be great

    You could go a few ways on this one mate. You'd be best going with either another heavy duty sports tuff or maybe even a cushion button. Cushion is a newer style and they are pretty ridgy didge Valeo are not bad but when it comes to performance side of things, you get what you pay for. Thats the way i look at it. hope this helps you out a bit :-)
