So I need to get a new clutch as the old one looks rs. What options do I have? I'm only moderately increasing the Hp over standard.

looks like that one's already sold..

exedy heavy duty clutches are available from most clutch places as well as ebay.. valeo ones are available too.. but the exedy ones are usually cheaper and hold up pretty well from my experience - much better than stock. Usually they're 200-300 bucks depending on where you go.

Exedy HD clutch is good value and works well behind a moderately powered starion.

I haven't had a Exedy HD in a starion before but i have had it in other applications and was really happy with it for what i paid.
I Have recently bought a xtreme clutch that im still to put in to my starion at this stage but im told they are also quite good.


One thing to think about when picking a clutch if your car is a daily driver you don't want to go to overboard, i would try and pick a clutch thats weaker than your gearbox that way if something gives way under pressure you break the clutch before you break something inside the gearbox (well thats the theory anyway LOL )

VR4gone, if you go the exedy HD, I'd like to know where in Perth you sourced it from.
