I'm getting clutch slip under acceleration in the higher gears so guessing time for a new clutch.

Caterham out of stock typically. Is it a standard Rover part?

Anyone know if it's easier to pull the engine & box or split in the car. It's a 6 speed with Caterham dry sump if that makes a difference.

Cheers

I've just replaced mine, AP won't supply direct and CC don't have any, what a cock up! I bought a Helix replacement from Mardi Gras Motorsport for my K series with dry sump.

Working on my own I find it easier to remove the engine and leave the gearbox in situ. I's a bit of a fiddle getting back in but I managed it OK. Don't forget you'll need a clutch alignment tool as well.

I split mine, leaving the gearbox in the car when I did it a long time ago.

Yup just pull the engine.
