So - I'm not sure if it's my clutch age, or the fact I'm running 240hp-ish through the M20 clutch, but it looks like I need a new clutch.

I am 99% sure I am using the M20 clutch on the M20 flywheel - does anyone have any good upgrade options? +70hp over the stock M20 would make sense to be slipping, and it only seems to slip on hard launches.

Any input appreciated!

Cheers,
Gus

A lot of people rave about the sachs upgrade clutch. Think it is just a stock friction plate and uprated pressure plate springs.

Gripforce offerings are very good for the money, but I would stick with M20 kit, I've got a standard Sachs M20 clutch on my 3.0 with a Gripforce paddle plate, works 100% perfect
