I really don't see the point in a paddle clutch on a land rover but there you go!

Whats a meeting? Play day? Trial? Or other?? Does it involve muddy water? Are you using a wading plug?
As has been said there really is no need for a paddle clutch on a Series Land Rover. Paddle clutches are designed to grip more as they get hotter and a lot of stop start driving can turn them into an on/off switch.........not ideal for most off road applications.
search and do some reading yer lazy t wat

There's a hole in the bottom of the bell-housing 'kid. vents the chamber.
When you go wading there is a bolt you re supposed to screw into it to stop the bell-housing filling with water & muck, which will wreck the clutch plates!
Its an agge old right of passage to learn about it 'the hard way' by dunking your clutch in crud and not only having to replace the plates and release bearing, but clean all the crap out the chamber first!
As said.... IF you have a decent clutch AND use the wading plug, standard clutch is more than adeqete and has advantages over other types in as much as you gat more 'feel' from it, which is useful for feeding in the power at low speeds etc!
Just thought.... you might find these useful......
