Clutch

[Obes]

Think my clutch is slipping....how many folks have had new clutches !? Any idea of a ballpark cost!

[joust]

Sorry - no idea. 20,000 miles and it's still on the original one - amazing really given how I drive it!

Must have been that 0 - 100 dash at Millbrook?

Hmmm, I thought it was odd. Only doing it in 4th/5th. Maybe there's oil on the plate or something... will have to have a closer look!

Sounds a lot for what must be a Ford clutch?

[obes]

agreed!

[DanH]

Oh well, if you end up having to order one, write down the oem part no

I'd guess (or at least hope) that the clutch is not a standard Mondeo one

Can 100% gaurentee that the part is bespoke to Noble. Lee had extensive discussions with AP ref clutch and the power and torque of the twin turbo engine. The ST220 clutch is for a twin-mass flywheel, and so is not suitable even if it could handle the torque.

Remember that generally price is proportional to volume - the more that are made, the cheaper the part!! So the low volumes for Noble make the part expensive.

Fair enough then. Must admit the clutches seem pretty bloody good as this is the first I've heard of one being required.
