I have been told the R5 GTT STANDARD clutch is the best thing for my 175bhp/150ft lb N/A F7R. Before it all goes together, I want to check for sure that this is a good move. Is there only one listing for these R5 GTT clutch's and do they definitly work well with the JC5? I'm hoping NOT to get a jerky clutch (i.e; on or off / stall or wheel spin in traffic). Obviously no slip. May just aim for a 190bhp N/A just incase I do get the high compression pistons, knife edge crank etc etc :roll:

Also, what about an LSD for the JC5 gearbox? ATB or ATB? How strong are the diff's on the JC5 as I know the JC3 is total horse. Cheers guys,

I would just get a Standard Williams clutch from renault, only £60 with discount and well up to the job.

i like them but they are quite hard work...very on/off and take some getting used to!

the standard clutch will be fine tho and a lot easier to use.

Are you sure that the original williams clutch will be up to 180bhp+ (n/a) ? Seems like a big leap from 150bhp. Knowing what a total slag replacing a clutch is on 1 of these, it has to be right first time. If you guys know that the Williams clutch is good for this power, I am happy to order one tomorrow 8)

I run an uprated heavy duty Valeo GTT clutch on mine... it is a total ARSE. On/Off very snappy... bloody hate it. Nightmare for driving in traffic... not sure what the standard GTT clutch it like.

nana is what I am aiming for. It's always been an inspiration to me. I wanted to own it a couple of years back but decided to save hard and create something better...Exactly what I want from scratch so that's what i'm doing with a little help from you guys 8)

I will be driving it hard on the track and you will see my down santa pod so the clutch needs to last at least a year before I probably pull it all appart again and have another little play when the bank level says so :wink:

well after alot of thinking, i have got the uprated gtt clutch. I will see what happens but at worst, at least it wont slip i guess. Don't want to be taking the gearbox out every 3months or something!
