    Default Which Clutch?

    My clutch is starting to slip (Goes to the rev limiter and just rolls back )

    How do I tell if I have a Getrag or T-5 Box, its a 96 Ute.

    I want something better then standard, but it needs to be comfortable as its a daily.

    Any recommendations, and prices (minus labour) would be much appreciated.

    Whether you've got a hydraulic or cable clutch... let us know and I'll price up some options.

    Haha, Yeah I heard the Getrag's are stupidly expensive. If I have a T-5, then Im very happy and dont feel as bad replacing the clutch.

    Is there much difference in pedal feel between the two? I dont want something overly heavy, but something with a good feel to it if that makes sense.

    Not really. The HD is just an uprated original pressure plate. But if it's just a standard road car the standard clutch will be heaps.
