Yep, tried that,rang that number, asked them if we could buy a clutch direct - got absolutely nowhere, they have a contract with TVR itself, and buying a clutch direct, through the main supplier is a bit brick-wall-ish

Got one spare.

AP *will* not sell you one direct no matter how many ppl contact them and frankly you will just p1ss them off and they will tell you to foxtrot oscar.

As I understand it, AP havent shipped any clutches yet and the bill atm remains unpaid, though whether or not that will change over the next week now that Moleskins has announced all his plans, I dont know.

I do know I have one reconditioned one left, it has only had a cpl of thousand miles on it, Im waiting for the guy to give me the exact milage. It was replaced because he was replacing the whole clutch/gearbox job and putting in an Uber flappy paddle system. If you are interested send me an email. Chris will vouch that Im not in the business of p1ssing about.

Is anyone waiting for a clutch at the moment...?

I intend on calling AP Racing UK tomorrow to find out if it is possible to source a clutch direct, this may or may not have been tried already but I wonder if multiple calls in the same week would help our cause, I can't imagine that TVR can restrict who AP sells their clutches to:-

AP Racing
Wheler Road
Seven Stars Industrial Estate
Coventry CV34LB
Tel: +44 (0) 24 7663 9595
Fax: +44 (0) 24 7663 9559

If anyone has tried this with no luck then it would be good to here from you?


Tvr Power will have 50 clutch kits at the end of this week contact number is 024 76 366177

DJC, thanks for the offer but I think I would prefer to go new even if I do have to wait a bit longer.

I will indeed, my Tam now has a brand new clutch all thanks to DJC, and absolutely no thanks to TVR themselves.
