Same set up as me Keith?...My clutch/flywheel/box from Ultima - I've not had any problems at all... what clutch do you have?...is it Ultima supplied? or elsewhere?

Hi Paul thanks for your input gearbox and cluth supplied by ultima factory so maybe pressure plate faulty.

Probably worth giving them a call...I expect usual questong will be check pressure plate and flywheel don't have any contamination on them - I cleaned mine with brake cleaning solvent before assembly... apart from that, not much else to go wrong unless there's a manufacturing defect.

I've not had any problems with mine either. It was J Schwartz supplied and fitted and I'm not sure if it's the same mfr/model as used with the factory setup.

i had clutch slip on my GTR, but the factory maintained that the Sachs item worked well for all the power ratings, so i had to look elsewhere. You can try Gardner Douglas as they have a very nice system with a hydraulic release bearing, but it is a bit expensive. I ended up using an uprated paddle type clutch from KEP which solved any slip but was not ideal in town as it was rather grabby, but great once moving or on the track. It's still available if you're interested

rang the factory today they said they did have some problems some time ago but not recently however they will replace it foc so ill try that first
