Hi folks.
I have a Sp6 cerby, 2000 year. Aprox 30K miles.
Its in need of a replacement clutch slave unit,,, mines sprung a leak..
So.
Would you chaps recommend the upgraded verson, or just re-seal the original.?
Also, other jobs that are worth doing , whilst im in there,
could be,,,,
De-cat the exhaust..?
Replace the rear section of the gearbox with a better unit, ie to remove the TVR linkage.?? Make for a better "feel" to the gear change.?
General clean up, and corrosion check.?
The clutch plate etc seems to have been changed around 10-15K ago, so im not expecting that to be bad.?
I think the slave had work on it then also..

Any thoughts or recomendations will be greatly received.
Ive also posted this on the Cerbera forum ,so sorry for the dual post...

10-15k for a cerbera clutch is near a longevity record. I would not dream of putting it back in.

After reading all the horror stories about OE TVR and the Raceproved both failing after low miles, I went for the Tilton cpnversion (separate thread on Cerbera forum). Made all the more necessary for me as the problem appeared to be damage to the bellhousing so any new slave would not seat properly. This is an expensive route but my clutch was OK and the new TIlton, though making the clutch stiff to operate, should be bullet-proof. Thinking of the potential costs ahead in Cerb repairs, you might want to keep a reserve rather than do gearbox repairs, but if your car is a 'keeper' then any corrosion work would be worthwhile. All the best!
