m12 gto 2000 clutch

[leemullan16]

took the car out for a blast today and the clutch has decided to start slipping under full load...might be a stupid question..where do i get a clutch kit from cant seem to find a place. also how hard is it to do is it an engine out job? ive also heard you have to cut a bar out to remove the gearbox is that true? any advice would be appreciated

Sure people will be along with their different opinions on the best clutch, but think the first question will be what power you running.

In terms of swapping the clutch I believe you have a choice of taking the engine out or cutting the chassis side bar, there is an ongoing debate which people prefer.

sounds like the engine out choice to me! its running 320bhp 0.6bar boost

Standard clutches available from factory and South West Lotus Centre online. You might get something on the auction site too - lots of stuff being sold on since Peter Smith stopped trading in Noble parts.
