Mates : the paddle clutch is on my mind as the current temps here hovering near 45ºc LT77 crapped partly to heat - as well as LT230 transfer box - - getting all the cross drilled bits to update LT230 - HD cross pin as well as Rakeway thrust bearing carrier - AP HD 130 clutch arrived today -...

Mates : About to install my fresh rebuild LT77 with R380 Case and oil lines/cooler so a new clutch and pressure plate should be installed I think to avoid at all cost BritPart - and look to AP or Valeo but then what about an HD clutch - Ashcroft offers a paddle style clutch for a heavy...

Mates: new guy here - usually on other boards I am a 200 Tdi retro fitted into this 90 current LT77 is gone - horrible grinding noise looking for options - Read" perhaps this is a better board for me to ask questions - is an R380 a better choice for me - with a shorty bellhousing...
