So the beast has been off the road for the last few weeks, (and still is technically until I get the calmini kit fitted) but Inoticed this week when I took it for a quick drive just to keep her running, that the clutch has gotten particularly bad! It has been giving me grief for 4 months or so, but has obviously finally gotten to the point of no return. Now the gearbox is coming out during the body and suspension lift to replace a leaking rear main. But I am reluctant to pay the $$$ for genuine. What aftermarket options are around for a 99 2.5 litre V6 GV?


Cheers

From personal experience with this brand I would rather get one from the dump!!!
4 in a row, the worst was 7k before the pressure plate gave up.


CI do brilliant sdt replacement clutch's, thay also do a 4by kit but not for a Gv, Yet.
But i am talking to them about this matter.

Don't get to excited, the market is very small, they may not do them yet.

I fitted a Clutch Industries RPM clutch when I replaced my rear main. Have only been on two runs with it so far but it spins the brand new 245/70R16 tyres with out slipping.

I don't know what brand it is but my mechanic put a so called heavy duty clutch in mine and it is shithouse!

It has been in there for about 10 000km and it only needs a little bit of pressure on the pedal to start slipping.

The factory clutch felt pretty good in my opinion.

He might of left greasy hand prints on it

Or I might have, I helped him put it in

Getting the earth cable stuck between the bellhousing and the block is a trap for young players that we discovered about the hard way.

I've cut a wiring harness in the same spot, not on a Gv, but still annoying!!
