Recomendations for clutch mobs in Brisbane??

Post by benhl »

As above - looking for a mob in Brisbane to throw in a new clutch kit, rear main seal, maybe flywheel machine etc etc.

Price is the key word here. parts are less than $250 and quotes so far are around the $800 mark and then the usual if nothing else needs doing BS.............

Any recomendations or offers please...............

I can't remeber their name, but I'll tell you where they are. Heading inbound on Ipswich Rd at Moorooka, turn left after Fourby's and in that street about 50 metres down on the right hand side there is a mechanic there. He was the best price around when I got mine done.
They said their price was better cause they had a couple of jacks on the hoist which meant it was only a 1 man job to drop the gearbox and change the clutch.

Direct Clutch @ Albion.

Apparently they do some heavy duty replacement items for heaps of comp trucks. Could be worth a look!

I'll disagree and say Direct couldn't make a decent clutch if they tried. I've seen 3 of the're "heavy duty clutches" disintegrate on the first 3 launches in a subaru liberty RS. We tested all of these "clutches" on Jim Berry's test bed and they were all at least 700 pounds shy of their claimed clamping pressure.

Direct may make a clutch they seems to be ok for our 4x4s but they are dead set puss when you start making some power.

Head over to Jim Berry at Italia Spares/Raceclutch over past the Gabba. You will get a good clutch for a very good price from a good bloke who is more then happy to speak to you all afternoon about what you want in order for you to get the right clutch!!

Cant sing this blokes praise enough.

cheers

I agree with Brad's recommendation of Jim Berry. He did a dam fine job of the clutch in my landcruiser and even showed me on the test bench the new clamp force. Did a 1/2 custom job (with a different crusier flywheel, chev bits etc) and runs double the clamp of normal (a heavy duty version was about 50% more clamp than normal). Then told me if I had more dramas me he would make a total custom flywheel/clutch etc. based off an XR8 that would give double the clamp again. I think he is just interested in doing stuff a bit off the cuff and certainly loves a chat. BTW, on one of my numerous visits he had the targa tassie porsche clutches on the bench working on them.. can't ask much more referal than that.

I had this put in ages ago and its still decent as used to go through 'HD' clutches very quik b4.
