Full Monty Clutch Jim Berry

[JUN`R32]

Hey guys,

Ive had a Jim berry full monty clutch installed in June 07

Has been working like a dream until now.

starting to slip, revs run high upto 20 - 30kms and can feel the clutch slipping when applying more acceleration.

Car is a daily driver

Has not seen any track days

Does see some spirited driving.

Few 6k dumps

Mainly normal driving no crazy 140k shifts

I want to know from experience how long these clutches usually last.

Any help would be good guys

Thanks

how many kms have you done since you bought it? clutches are a wear item and won't last for ever sadly. and the driver and his/her driving style has a LOT to do with how long a clutch will last.

would have been about around 60 - 70,000kms

Spoke to jim who advised send it down and he can see how its worn out and what might be causing it, then see if he can add something to correct the issue if its clutch wear.

Has been punished a little so might be just wear n tear.

If jims clutch lasts for 3 or 4 yrs on a car with a higher HP then mine and more kms drivin then i know definitely its got to be something else on the car or my driving habit.

I would say 60,000kms on an aftermarket clutch is pretty good going mate. it should be well worn out by now. daily driving will also be hard wearing on a clutch with lots of slipping the clutch on those first gear take offs etc.

Yeh didnt think it would be something crazy like 5yrs or so

Thanks heaps

Generally 3-4 years or 80k for a standard car.

2 years and 40-60k on something modified.
