new to JC v6 man clutch needed

[LARKIN]

hey all just registerd with JC cause SC wont let me post or start threads. got a 1999 vt acclaim manual. need new clutch. i read that a place in richmond or something do single mass for about 800 or 900? correct me if wrong. thanks

[LARKIN]

here is a flick btw. yes its dirty. and yes she is tuckin air. getting front struts and springs on friday. already got daewoos for the rear

[tr3nt]

May I suggest a spring a lot more sturdier than a Daewoo/camira spring for the VT. Go a decent aftermartket lowered spring ie; SL, SSL?

[LARKIN]

cheers. i want sssl but wats the point when its gunna be on the bump stops. all it does is hold it all together. i got daewoos for 15$ for pick a part. will be only in use for cruise ect. got a nice ride hight rear springs atm. just ned fronts

[tr3nt]

For cruising, its gonna tear the shit out of your driveshaft boots.. can get nice n dusty in there and sieze your driveshafts, your petrol tank is only plastic, scrape it enough and your economy will seem shithouse, and springs that are designed to hold up... 500kg of car holding up 1.5-2tonne of car?

[LARKIN]

yeh lol i thort of all those things. sssl and daewoo are same hight because mate has sssl. only different yes its for a 500kg car. thanks. nice car btw

[tr3nt]

I only know of these consequences mate coz I ran simililar springs in my Calais..

Cheers.

eBay is your friend.
Search "VT Clutch"
There's a place in Sunbury, Kensington and Ringwood. I know for sure that the first 2 are actual mechanics, so I'd call them for a quote installed. I'm gunna do mine very soon, slipping in every gear except 5th, so let us know how you go if you do it before me and visa vera

I have just replaced my standard clutch with an exedy heavy duty kit with solid flywheel and am very happy with it. I recommend you give northern brake and clutch in Kensington a call. I got mine through them and it was much cheaper than anywhere else I could find. Phone number is 1800 4Exedy or 1800 439 339. They sell them on eBay but will give you a discount if you buy them direct from the store (to avoid eBay fees) it was $900 not installed but I’m sure they could install it at a reasonable price.
