Which clutch to buy?

[macca]

My clutch is starting to play up, I think.

It did slip once about month ago when I gave it a bit to get going in H1 when I should have been in L2 or 3.
It feels like its slipping and grabbing once or twice when I start moving particularly noticeable when turning as well, the other day it had a vibration and the engine was moving like something was off centre and out of balance.

It drives OK, doesn't slip but I think that is where the problem is.

So what to get for it?

It's a 4.2TDi 2005 year model.

Any reviews on what to install and cost of the parts would be a help.

Thanks in advance

There are a few options available.

Exedy safari tuff
NPC 6x6
4terrain.

Each of these for your application will do the job well and pedal feel won't change. Do a little shopping around to see who can give you the best price on those options.

I have the safari tuff and was told the pedal feel would be a nightmare but only noticed it slightly for a week and its such a minuet difference but highly recommended for towing and reliability.

I currently have the exedy safari tuff installed in mine.

I have also recently fitted a NPC 6x6 to a mates car I built for him with a td42 and it holds well at just over 200hp.

Surprised we've had no other brands spoken about. What about OEM? Safari talk of more clamping force, that is a good thing?.

For the cost the above options are the go over oem. They all have a higher clamp pressure than standard. The npc uses the same clutch disc as the exedy. I am not aware of which clutch disc the 4terrain use.

Thanks mate, will probably head this way. A mates son has had a lot to do with skylines etc and found the exedy were not up to the task in those cars suggested I do some research on the internet. Seems the 4x4 ones are better.

I can not find clutches on Patrol-a-part, am I missing something?
