DeeBob Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hello all, In need of a decent clutch for my 1987 GTE, getting into the nitty gritty with it now and can't seem to find the right clutch online or in person for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunwilli Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Been looking on the euro car parts site and have had no luck.Local store in newport is impossible to get into at the moment and they dont answer the phone.Are they definitely available at europarts or is ebay the best route.Thankyou.

Yes since i posted that euro have stopped supplying them I needed one myself recently and found gte clutches to be totally unavailable at any price Im now having them remanufactured myself and can supply them at £120 on an exchange basis, i must have your old plate and cover back in order to continue supply Release bearings are brand new Uk mainland post and packing is £10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwilli Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes sounds good.The problem i have is that the clutch fitted in my car appears to foul on the flywheel bolts.There are visible signs on the four springs in the clutch plate and the flywheel bolts.I assumed the noise when depressing the clutch was the release bearing.Everything seems in good nick apart from the rubbing together.So i wanted a new clutch incase the wrong one was fitted.
