UPDATE: 07/03/2013 - Clutch upgrade found to be used with solid mass flywheel for Almera 2.2 DCi - See video for info
I've got zero experience when it comes to clutches, and certainly with aftermarket ones. As my stock one has started to slip (albeit on in top gear and up hill at full boost) how long might I have before the car becomes undrivable? When you buy uprated clutches what have you been looking for in the product?
To be honest I don't really know the right questions to ask, but I ultimately wonder if I need to be forking out on uprated clutches yet and if I can leave it a couple of months at least. I also wonder if I'm looking at the right one to buy, seeing as I do have oodles of torque to temper.
The clutch I'm looking at is an ACT one, full face disc, high clamp load plate, rated to 492lbft. So one thing is that specific clutch, and the other is clutches in general and if I need to change yet.
Cheers for any advice lads
