LT95 Clutch Kits

[Cap]

Looking at buying and LT95 clutch kit (clutch and pressure plate) but so far the cheapest I can find is just under $500 for both. Repco sell the kit for $617!!!!! So can anyone tell me if:

a) $500 is a resonable amount to spend, and
b) if not, where else can I order these from.

Cheers,

[Bushie]

Can't really help, but my clutch kit in 1986 was $360 and REPCO wanted around $700 then, so $500 may not be too bad.

for a new pressure plate and friction or drive plate thats about right for parts only and fitted for substantially more than that....

What Id love to get into on the clutch front of the lt95/3.9 isuzu combo is a double plat canterleave release clutch where actuating the clutch pulls at one plates spring pack and pushes at another. effectively this results in 0 effort being applied to the flywheel by the clutch release mechanism and being a double plate can deal with fantastic amounts of torque which given the size of the engines these clutches are usually attached to means in a piddly little isuzu 3.9 its going to last forever......

Seems to me like the bloke who supplied the last 3.9 clutch complete I fitted might have paid a tad much for it.... probabley made up for it on the labour cost tho.....

Im sure the kit was $360 ish and it cost me another 50 to have the flywheel machiened and they did a recess around the edge to make the clutch bite harder works great been in just over 12 months had the motor out 4 months ago to fix the input shaft on the box clutch still looked new its a borge and beck pressure plate that carters recoed and the pressure plate was a PBR i think tho the plastic spigot bearing housing is a joke if mine fails again il be geting one spun up outa alloy but i think mine failed because the slip yolk on the input shaft had come a drift and had shortened it self bu floging round the input shaft ...

Blknight and Lokka, you lost me.... :confused:

sorry stooge, I was lamenting a different clutch setup that Id love to see on the rovers as it would almost be an install and forget item.

as far as you need to be concerned with my post just pay attention to the bit that indicates that I now think the bloke who supplied his own clutch for me to install might have paid too much at just shy of $500. (for the parts)

the important part that I glean out of lokkas post is the potential failure of the plastic support sleve for the throw out bearing (the actual bit that presses on the clutch to make it disengage) as hes had a couple fail hes going to have a new one machined out of alloy to prevent it from happening again.

from the rest of his post ID suggest that as hes done some mods and got and increased clamping effect that its putting a bit more stress on the throwout bearing assembly which is contributing to the failure and if you were just going a new clutch (and the vehicle was old enough) youd just replace it with a new one. But the alloy one does make sense in a preventative maintenance way.

borg and beck are a mob that do driveline components and PBR do knock off parts (but they do a bloody good job of a lot of it)

There is 2 types of sleeve one angles in to a very small /\ support for the bearing, these fail:mad: the other[] generally doesn't:D
