i too am looking for a new clutch but i'm unsure which 1. i've started a poll to see opinions. best to change the clutch slave cylinder too(trust bearing)

My clutch slipped a little when my car was standard and then i've had phase 2 for a year and a half and its slipping really badly.
there seams to be about 4 of us at the moment all with clutchs slipping lol.
Take a look at the other clutch thread i posted some info on the helix clutch i'm looking at getting.
just need to sort out a flywheel now

Yeah it seems loads have gone with the helix clutch..... It holds the power of a phase 3.5 and drives like standard so i'll be happy...

Getting a Vx Thrust Bearing it's good enough for the job at hand;)

Do LMF sell genuine vauxhall ones?? How much from them?
how much vaux trade price?
its not in the trade club book. it just has the full clutch kit clutch, cover and bearing for £174 trade or £261 retail
