Clutch going going....
Discussion
Not quite gone yet, but I don't think there's much left in it, gear selection while stationary is getting dodgy and I have to be gentle on the move...
New clutch and slave ordered from Racing Green (how much !
), decided to try their Helix replacement over the AP racing one.
My drive home tonight might be the last one before I put her on axle stand for surgery. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
I will check the master cylinder/fluid for bits of seals before I start, worst (best) case, I have a spare clutch ready to go in when needed...

When you have swapped them send the old one here http://www.clutch-specialists.co.uk/ they offer a great service and have just refaced my clutch in Kevlar which lasts longer but has a slightly more agressive bite.
Cost to me was £275 for a full refurb and refacing.

Is it worth resurfacing a clutch when the fingers generally fatigue over the clutches life?
I had one re-faced by my father-in-law who worked at AP before he retired,it lasted 15k miles before it started slipping and the fingers were still ok,it had done 35k miles in total.Mr Cerbera said:

Statements like this - which pop-up frequently - absolutely amaze me. 
Does everyone in Cerb world do drag starts away from every traffic light and junction ?
My first clutch lasted 45K - What am I doing wrong ??
......Man up & start driving that Cerb like you stole it !.....

No wonder there are so many crocked Cerbs about with all those traffic light GP's I much prefer a set of challenging bends at speed personally, mechanical sympathy every time.
