    Some are quite nice, and some (depending on the clamp force of the cover usually) can be quite snappy. Paddle clutches will always have a shorter life than an organic clutch though. I'd only go for a paddle is you actually need it

    See Laine, this is what you get for trying to launch in 3rd at 9000rpm, whilst trying to "do" a corsa LET off the lights!!!

    The Helix paddles are sprung, so they dont bite harshly like older type paddles, they feel no more harsh than a standard clutch.

    They wear quicker though, alot quicker, especially with your chavvy driving Elaine.

    Depends on the diaphram/cover I guess.

    I'd go for a paddle...
    I think the helix ones are good for about 300lb.ft CONTINIOUS loading.

    I have a Helix paddle in the rally car and its fine on the road. It must have had a couple of hundred standing start (start of a stage) and when the box was last out it wasnt even half worn... :D
