new clutch

[mohsan]

have had a new clutch fitted,from standard fitted a helix organic clutch. I find moving of in first and reversing you get this judering,at beggining the car will just jump n stall. Is this normal when having a new clutch?
How long to wear it in? What does wearing in require?

Did you have the flywheel skimmed before your fitted the new clucth? as this can cause problems with juddering, Also did you go for a paddle or organic plate?..... As for runing in the clutch I give it a couple of hundred mile's myself just to get it bedded in nice .

With the Helix, unless you're healthy with the throttle, it will judder no matter what. Bit of a pain in traffic, but much better than getting clutch slip on hard launches.

me ap does same thing but i had a skimmed flywheel

try a bit of copper slip in the clutch arm pivot point, that sorted all my clutch judder.

Well some time back I spent a long time talking with Terry from Helix
we worked out between us what was a good compromise for an uprated
organic clutch, I had the first one and it suffered from judder bad so after
a discusssion he suggested selecting second once the car was rolling and then revving the engine to 3500rpm and letting the clutch slip a little for a couple of seconds after doing this 2 or 3 times it was fine
