concentric clutch for type 9 gearbox

[Phil J]

I want to fit a concentric clutch to my type 9 gearbox behind a crossflow. They look similar in pictures and specification but vary in price greatly and probably quality. I don't mind paying for quality but from your practical experience which ones are easy to fit and work reliably and any I should avoid? TIA

I've used the concentric set up from Burtons before now, not the cheapest possibly, but simple and nicely made, also spare seals etc are available. One thing I would say with it though, make sure you fit a pedal stop, as excess travel on the slave cylinder can damage the seals. Mind you, you should have a stop anyway!

This is the one I mean, clicky

Note, you'll also need a mounting plate and appropriately sized spacer. Plus hoses, release bearing etc.

Once correctly set up though, and with stop adjusted, mine was ultra reliable in all the years I had the car. Just needed  a hydraulic fluid change every few years or so.
