jon13 OP Enjoying the ride Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 820 Trowbridge,Wiltshire	I'm in the process of trying to decide which direction I'll be going with a clutch and am leaning towards a 6 paddle..However I would prefer to 'try before I buy' as it were... So what I'm asking is..is there anybody in the Wiltshire/Bristol area willing to let me have a go in their car to get a feel for the 6 paddle please?Beer tokens could be available. I'm Insured to DOC and can bring proof with me if needs be. Thanking you kindly Jon. Last edited by jon13; 27/02/2013 23:40.

Thought you had a Helix paddle? It's a 6 paddle helix organic. Sorted that for you Dan, the Organic is a different friction plate To be fair all paddle friction plates judder, some worse then others. Fitting a freshly faced flywheel at the same time is imperative as well as having good engine mounts. Personally I'd be governed by what's needed for that engines output, fast road or paddle, to me that would be the question Jon
