Never heard of anyone on here mention this brand of clutch before.

Most people go Helix or Sachs. Can't fault my Helix  :happy2:

Black Diamond clutches don't have a very good reputation on any of the forums I've been a member of.

Personally I'd look elsewhere.  :happy2:


Keeping it original..............or not!!

Lol I'm not paying over £300 for a clutch I'd rather keep putting genuine LUK clutches back in...

My Helix clutch cost £465. That's only £165 more than a LUK version; and judging by your sig running stage 2+, the life expectancy of the LUK unit will be reduced compared to Helix. It's a false economy to buy a cheaper clutch now and having to fit another one in the future. Although I guess it depends on driving style, amount of time you plan to keep car etc.
