Speed 6 Clutch saga

[adrianf]

Does anyone know the current postion with regard to the availability of clutches please? I know that there have been problems with supply but my T350 has been off the road now for four weeks (and one was being sourced before that) and I'm still waiting.

If there are any in stock at any of the dealers or elsewhere would you point me in the right direction?

Nasty.

Not sure, but maybe it's worth calling around to see if you can locate one yourself. I would call every dealer specialist in the country if I had to wait 4 weeks to get her fixed.

These guys have been talking about lack of clutches for t350's, you may want to post and have a read on here.

Sorry to hear you’re off the road.

4 weeks isn't a long time compared to the past (though it in itself is pityfully poor of course) . I remember once having 5 cerberas in my workshop for 3 months waiting for clutches

You'd have thought they'd have got their act together by now

WTF!!!!!!! 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be

I might just buy a clutch now and leave it in my garage. Doesnt sound like im going to have a problem selling it if I dont need it.

Would be quicker to take the clutch out and have the material replaced as they dop on older / rarer classics.

Look in the back of a classic car mag and I'm sure you will find a company that does this.

Ill see what I can do. Not sure if I will have any success though, the spare clutch we thought we had access to, turned out to be a pure racing clutch, *very* unsuitable to daily road driving. If I can get you one, it may take a week though.

Give Austec a ring. They have them in stock apparently.....

[adrianf]

Thanks for you help on this.

Further enquiries suggest that stocks are starting to flow again, so watch this space!

TVR Power had them yesterday but they may have all gone by now call them but be quick...

I only found out through TVR CAR PARTS who rang me after I made a passing comment about needing a clutch...

Not sure of his name but what a top bloke...cheers mate
