The clutch is on its way out. The engine is overwhelming it and I still want more power so that’s gotta be ripped out. It’s now the 4th van that’s on my waiting list for an engine and box out job and I’m booked up every day for the rest of the year. Annoying as fuck.
This LUK one has lasted approximately 23,000 miles and vast majority of those the engine was very very kind to it. Now it’s dialled up on grunt and I’m kicking it’s fucking teeth in at every opportunity I imagine I wouldn’t get anywhere near 10k out of a replacement so I’m now looking into a bargain basement uprated one. I have commissioned Rob and his tireless dreary geekiness to assist on the boring computery bit. Kev is going to machine out a flywheel for me to fit an enlarged clutch if I (Rob) can find a clutch cover that’ll clamp that bitch down. I’ll go with an organic disc as big as I can physically ram in there.
It’s going to need to be over spec’d because the Holset turbo that’ll be going on soon is going to set fire to the fucker daily. If in doubt, flat out.
